The premise of this children's book involves the protagonist knowing everything about another primary character. It's a bit intriguing because, how can someone know everything about a person, right? I congratulate the author for Book of the Day!

This looks like a useful book for children ages 7 and up. As a mother I'm glad that there are resources like this to help our children fight and avoid bullying and any type of violence. Thank you for your excellent review, and for offering such an honest point of view.

Bullying is such a sensitive issue and it's funny how most people feel uncomfortable addressing it. By being silent though we continue to let the problem fester like a terrible wound. When children become bullies, it's not enough punishing them. We have to find out the root of their behaviour. Often, we focus way too much on the victims.

Unfortunately, bullying is very common. I'm glad that a children's book addresses this issue. Congrats on BOTD!

I enjoyed your review. Very well done. I found the sample pages that I read to be very interesting and cute, the way they were written. I would like to finish the book maybe someday.

This children's book seems to be pretty interesting since there aren't many books that talk about bullying, and how it starts. Besides, Jenny seems to be a kind character. I'm going to sample it. Congrats on BOTD to the author! Thanks for the review!

Jenny's Heroes by Barry Litherland sounds like informative children's book, which explores the topic of bullying in schools. Though, I'm not a fan of this kind of genre, but I'll recommend it to my siblings and friends who really appreciate this type (children's) of books. Thanks for this insightful review.

Bullying is distasteful. Most times the one being bullied is helpless and needs external intervention like Jenny's to be saved. I'm glad the author used this medium to remind others of their duty to intervene in the case someone around them is being bullied. Thanks for the review.

A children's book addressing a serious problem like bullying is definitely a worthy read for children. I like that the story is unique and original and well edited. However, I'm not a fan of this genre. Otherwise, congrats on the BOTD!

I like the theme of this story, I think a topic of bullying must be teach and tell to every child since this behaviour is very dangerous and has bad impacts in both sides whether is the victims or perpetrators. And I think the author has written the story nicely. Thank you for your good review.

Bullying is often painful and affects children's mental health. This book seems to explore a different aspect of bullying. I agree the book would be a good read in primary and elementary schools, as a discussion book.
