This is an interesting educational children's book highlighting bullying, domestic violence, friendship, humor, and true heroism. The book is temporarily free on Amazon Kindle and has a masterfully-written OnlineBookClub review. Congrats @BWLitherland on the BOTD selection.

This book sounds great for kids. Bullying is an important issue for schools these days and this sounds like a useful book for teaching. Thanks for a great review!

Love this review! I think the theme of the book is very relevant; dealing with bullying among teens. This is one of the issues that is often ignored but greatly affecting the emotional aspect of the bully and bullied. Oftentimes, the bully is hated but the truth is they were ones victims who turn bullies.I love to know how the author will attack this issue and I hope all things end well to all the characters! Congrats BOTD!

I like how this book seems very important. Bullying should be discussed more, have more attention, parents and schools should improve their skills to prevent their kids to suffer it, and addressing them when they say/do something wrong. Unfortunately, like you and the author imply, bullies come from a not stable home, child abuse and many other problems. This book seems excellent.

A book about bullying should be read by every child. It's such a big issue in schools and there needs to be zero tolerance. Thanks for the informative review.

We all know that many of us had some distress memories in childhood and some are for bullying during childhood. By reading the situation of Henry the readers will understand that bullying can make a child very much anxious. As the reviewer had said that this book will be a good topic of discussion for elementary school childrens or it will prevent creation of future bullies if parents read this novels to their childrens during bedtime.

To me this review is very generous, very true.I loved it.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Children should be taught at home about proper behaviour to their fellow students and teachers. A lot of students become the victims of bullying but never reveal anything until the situation goes out of hand. I would like to read this book which deals with such serious issue. Thanks for the nice review.

From a sampling, this seems like an interesting children's story about a young boy is bullied in school. One day a mysterious girl appears and helps make the boy a "hero" and stop the bullying in school. It might be worth a second look. Well done.

The best part of the story is the entry of Jenny and how she inspires Henry and makes him a hero.
