Review

Ian is on his way to middle school in the fall, but first he must survive this summer. He has been sent to Bully School boarding school for 6 weeks and what could be worse for a reluctant bully than a school filled with bullies? After being picked on mercilessly for a few years, Ian teamed up with a group of bullies because they watch his back and stand up for him when others bully him. Truth be told, he is not a bully but is with this group as a means of survival. At bully school, Ian realizes that Devon, the head of his bully group, is not what he seems and may be the perpetrator of one of the most heinous pranks of the summer and against one of their own group! Readers who are bullied or are bullies themselves could benefit from this story and, perhaps, change their ways. Consider this selection for your tween collection.

Overall Book Score: good
