Bullying is such an important topic. The discussion about it should be started young - glad the author tackles such an important issue!

Very nice review!The message is also good which inspires the kids to stand up to bullies.
What is the most special thing I did today- I was MYSELF. Happy and in love and unapologetically myself.

Great review. Bulling indeed is a great problem and I agree with you that there's a very thin line between teaching them how to fight against bulling and turning them into bullies in the course of teaching.
I liked the illustrations​ and the notebook style. Also I liked the idea of dealing with multiple problems at the same time. Thank you!

Great review! I agree bullying is an epidemic and has been around for a long long time. I like how the book addresses not only the many sides of bullying including the origin of the bully and that fine line in realistically dealing with a bully but the message about the environment as well. I think this book should be read in schools everywhere. Thanks for sharing.

I absolutely love children's books that provide strong messages. I just wished there was more of the kind.

This sounds like a really fun book, and bullying is a great subject to educate kids about. So kudos to the author for that, and to you for a really good review. I definitely want to read this book, or better yet, read it to some kids. But this is the kind of book that might appeal to adults, too.

What an insightful review! Although this book targets kids, I would love to read it.

Excellent review! It's always appreciated when an author addresses serious issues to children without lectures. This book sounds like a wonderful way to teach about bullying while also showing the dangers of polluting our beaches. And the comic strip style should definitely appeal to middle school children.

Great review! This sounds like just the right type of book that children should be reading. I like that it sends not just one but two important messages about the environment and bullying.

Wonderful review. I like how this book discusses bullying because it is such an issue in today's society. Like you said, I also like how it touches on the pollution on the beach.

This sounds like it was very well thought-out, especially for a children's book! Plus I like how it contains two separate messages - against bullying and against littering - and how well they seem to be incorporated with each other.
