This book discusses a very vital topic which is bullying. It would be good if both parents and children read this. It could do a lot of good in helping to curb bullying.

Bullying is very very common among school children, and most times, most children bully others without even being aware of what they are doing or the effect it has on the victim. I think children should be given more sensitization about this issue. If children are introduced to more books on bullying such 'Jenny's Heroes' , think they would become more sensitive to it as not to bully others. I would love to read through the book to get more insight on it. Thanks for your review.

It's not easy to tackle the issue of bullying in a humorous way, but the author seems to have achieved that goal. Sounds like a great story to read in a classroom.

OMW. The plot has me completely enthralled. It's both educative and fantasy-filled. I like how the author takes bullying seriously while still injecting humor. This is a book that I intend to read to my children. What a fantastic piece! Great review

Many children experience bullying at school. Bullying is a very serious problem and bad habit that should be eradicated

Bullying has and always will be a serious occurence, as someone who dealt with it as a child I do hope Jenny's heroes addresses this issue. Good review!

I’m always impressed with children’s books that deal with serious issues. Often it is downplayed or the solution is found through pure luck or something else. Looking forward to reading it!

Bullying is also a form of group mentality. Some children are raised to view others as beneath them. I like that this young reader book is about this social issue. Good review.

Children's books tend to be inspiring, as they usually contain life lessons. It can cheer us and present us with meaningful messages, such as this complicated topic of bullying. I'm sure most people would find it important, as it's a sad situation that may happen with people around us. In addition, I love to know the details about the characteristics of the narrative, so well-written.

Bullying in any form is a pandemic we need to counter. Sadly it goes way below the surface and a solid change takes decades to take shape on both sides.
The review is nicely written without any major spoilers while hinting at interesting layers and encourages readers to give book a go.

Bullying starts at a very tender age. Children are the most vulnerable. Children can find valuable lessons in this book to help them cope with and even stop the bullyist and mitigate against bullying. Thanks for the review.

I totally agree with you that bullying in our schools is a serious problem today. I am glad this author has written about this serious issue with an aim of bringing it under control. I am also glad that he has targeted children with this book because they are both the victims and also the villains. Thanks for your good review.
