pickI fit in one more audiobook this afternoon to round out my end of year stats. This is a middle grade novel about bullying, the ones being bullied, the ones participating as a method of self protection, and the ones bullying. I liked it and I think it has a good message, but I‘ll be curious as to whether the girls it‘s intended for will appreciate and learn from it as well.

Nobody swung until Mean Jean swung.Nobody kicked until Mean Jean kicked.Nobody bounced until Mean Jean bounced.
The pictures that the illustrator used really emphasize that mean jean is a bully they make her look unfriendly.
pickThis book is a good book, where mean jean takes over! The author uses punctuation and font sizing to really add effect into this book. The theme of standing up for others in this book is super important because all children need to know how to.
