Summary: A Message from the Heart
Review: The Fall after Columbine occurred, I'm sitting in a laundrymat watching the last of summer from a window. It is warm out, and my children and I are preparing for another year of public school. My kids as well as my students come to mind, and I recall too vividly the cool, rainy spring day when my daughters and I stood on a hill overlooking the site of a massacre. Only weeks before that, this was a place of learning near a lovely park and library. I remembered holding my own children as we wept, remembered the fear we all experienced when this tragedy happened. That's when the voice of the young fellow who narrates this little book becomes alive for me. I hope this young man and his story enliven positive and effective programs our families and communities use to address the very rampant problem we all face with bully behavior.

Summary: Great and Important Story
Review: This book and Eleanor Estes' book The Hundred Dresses are the only two childrens' books about bullying that I recommend. This book presents clear, effective ideas about how bystanders and teachers can work together to make a difference in stopping school bullying.

Summary: Wonderful
Review: This book is literally "timeless" for all ages, especially for adults as well as children. It should be placed in school and church libraries, and discussed over and over again for making certain understanding is there. The Publishers should keep this book out front for many, many years.

Summary: Important For All To Read
Review: This book is very important for all to read. It holds the key to teaching children and adults the difference in telling on someone or actually reporting a problem. It is easy reading with full meaning and will be meaningful no matter what the decade or school or premise. It should be circulated to immediate attention in all school libraries especially.
Rating:
Summary: Timely and Great
Review: This book is very inspirational. It helps children understand what to do about bullying. I think this book should get an award. I read Ms. McCain's last book, it was fabulous (Grandmother's Dreamcatcher). She is truly the best children's author of our time!
