Jenny's Heroes is a children's book with fascinating characters children can relate to in their lives. It exploits this by talking about real life issues that affect children within the school systems. Congrats on being BOTD.

Bullies are abusive, but sometimes they are victims too. I agree with the reviewer's point on this matter. There should be proper awareness about bullying. Only that way we can save beautiful souls. There are no evil children, only the misguided ones. I think it'll be a lovely book read with children. I would recommend it to my neighbor for their child.

My son has just been bullied. I don't support bullying. We need to tell children don't bully so We can stop bullying. This review tells about a book to describe it. It's a good book for kids and parents.

Well-written and professionally edited, today's BOTD focuses on bullying, and it is a great choice for upper elementary or middle school classroom libraries. Readers will find the characters funny, the dialogue realistic, and the events thought-provoking and inspiring. Thank you so much for your helpful review. Great work! :-)

By reading the review, I learn that the book is written on the topic of bullying. And the boy who was suffering the problem, how he solved the problem.

I think bullying is very difficult to deal with, and children experience it much more in life than adults. Just think about all that fear. The author had a brilliant idea presenting the issue within a children's book, children can understand. It's an excellent review.

I like the comic elements present in this serious story. Indeed, bullying is a major issue now more than ever. And I also like how the author shows the bully's side of the story. Thanks for the detailed review!

I'll be skipping this book at the moment as I have no school-aged children in my life right now. But, I'm a big fan of Barry Litherland and it was a pleasure to read a few chapters of the book. It's a well-written novel, ideal for tackling the horrible issue of bullying. I hope that Mr. Litherland finds an appreciative audience for this book and other "Jenny" books that come our way.

Latest Review: Between Good and Hollywood by Tyler Patrick Wood

Post by Kirsi Cultrera »

This book has quite a unique approach to this important but also difficult topic. Henry finding out that he’s actually a character in Jenny’s story sounds fascinating! I wonder how the story ends for Henry? Is he indeed a character and will he become a hero as Jenny says? Is the bullying going to end? It is great that the author has chosen to work with this topic, as so many kids face bullying one way or the other.

Thanks for an informative review!
