I am 52 year old grandmother and I purchased this book from another vendor for my granddaughter without reading it first. I remember being bullied all through school. I wish that I had handled the bullying differently than I did. Instead, I handled it pretty much the same way Jake did...not with the same results though. I wish that I HAD told my parents. I wish that I HAD told my teacher. I wish that I HAD trusted someone to help me out. Jake reinforces all of the "old school" stereo types...don't tell, telling will make it worse. Kids should not be afraid to talk to their parents or to their teacher. Kids should not be told that "tattleing" is wrong. The person bullying, for WHATEVER reason, is WRONG. Kids, ask for help! Parents, help your kids. I usually donate used books to my local library. This book will be thrown in the trash.

I read Jake Drake bully buster.
It is a great book and if you asked me to give you up to five stars it would be five stars.
I thought that it was a great book and that ages 8 and up would be a great age to be reading this book. The writer of the book made you really get into the book you would not want to stop reading it. I would recommend this book to everyone and I would say if you like Jake Drake bully buster try reading the other books too. The book is about bully's and being mean (which we should not do). One of the charters is Link he was 8 years old and wanted to be the MVP on the bully "all star team" and I think all kid's would say he made the team. Link was a brat to Jake and Jake was sick of being messed around with and just wanted his class to be "bully free" but I guess that couldn't happen.

I liked this book, because I found it to be a good book.. The character Jake had a big problem. When I was reading the book, I had to keep reading to find out what happened next. If I could read anther book by Andrew Clement I would. He is a good a author.

My grandson loves the Jake Drake books.He is in the in-between ages of being read to and learning to read himself, so these are perfect. They arrived in the condition they were advertised in and ahead of time.

Thank you,

I read this book because I am a volunteer with the In2Books e-mentoring Program and adored it. The book came in brand new condition as well. Fourth grader Jake Drake looks back on his experiences as a bully magnet and how he finally learned to deal with bullies when he came faced with the SuperBully, Linx Baxter.

The book I ordered came quickly and in excellent condition. I belong to a volunteer group called In2Books and I order a lot of young child books. This was one of the best sites I have ordered from.

Part of SonLight Homeschool curriculum. My son enjoyed this book and had no problems answering the comprehension questions. I was please with the life lessons.

I haven't actually finished this book. Once again I purchased a book that is for older kids when my boy is only 4. This book is too long and in depth for him. But when he gets old enough for a longer book it will be a good one. I read bits and pieces through out the book, and it is very well written. It is in clear language from the point of view of a kid who is bullied. His observations of the bullies is interesting. It comes across as very real. The part about a snotty nose boy who snatches his cookies and takes a bite out of each and returns them. Then his observation that the cookies are now tainted so he gives them to the boy. He says I was only 3 how did I know. And if grown ups are so smart why do they allow kids to bully other kids? I have the feeling I am really inside the mind of a boy who is thinking about things. I like it. I can't wait to read it to my son when he is old enough.

It is a good book.The book is about this boy that likes to pick on people.He picked on Jake.He likes to make fun of people like Jake.The little boy thinks that he is all that,but he is not.Well i think you should read this book.The book is coming of age.The boys name is Link.Well Link and Jake both have sisters.Well Link's sister likes to pick on Jakes sister .Well I think that they should not pick on people like that.They do that because they think that it makes them cool.But it doesn't it makes they look stupid.well i think that you should read this book.

This book is about a boy who is getting picked on a lot, but then he gets picked on by a super bully. He has to get rid of him. How do think he can get rid of him? If you want to find out, then read the book.
