It’s important to address bullying. It is a serious problem and seems to be getting even worse. Thank you for a great review.

Jenny’s Heroes seems like a compelling story and a vital resource to teach kids about bullying and it’s effects. I would certainly recommend it to elementary school teachers and parents to read to their kids. Splendid review.

Reading this review, I started to think about all the "serious" children books I've read. You are right, they really did not release a lot of them growing up as a child. As someone who was bullied , I really am interested on how Jenny helped him and or, if she made things worse. Sometimes as children we want someone to come save us. I wonder if that is who she was for him, was she his hero instead or was he the hero? I think I might just give this a read.

Both the bully and the bullied need help. I'm glad the author addresses this reality. I wonder why a girl was chosen to help Henry.

I’m looking forward to digging into this novel to find out how Jenny will be able to help out Henry in facing hood anxiety and eventually stand up against the school bullies. Bullying is a very timely and relevant theme in a story and one that every reader should read.

Bullying is indeed a big problem and I would like to see how it will be solved by Henry with Jenny's help. Thanks for the review

I would agree that most bullies have been bullied themselves. Too often we turn away from situations where we really need to step in.

This sounds like a creative, interesting way to discuss certain difficult topics with children. I love that the author made an easy and safe way to discuss bullying with children as it is a relevant topic. Thank you for the review!

Indeed, many children experience bullying in school and are afraid to speak about it. Great review.

Thank you for this great review. Often children are afraid of telling an adult when they are being bullied, which leads to kids suffering from depression. I believe this is a great book that addresses this concern. Children need people to stand up for them when they are being bullied. Great Book!!!

More boys are inspired to be strong out of the fear of being bullied than any other existing factor, whether they are conscious of it or not. Good this phenomenon is being properly approached in Jenny's Heroes. Great Review!

I like the idea of Jenny telling Henry that he is the hero in her story. I like the important topic that this book tackles, and it seems to be a delightful book, so I'll like to sample it.
Great review.
