5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best books ever., December 17, 2007

A Kid's Review

This review is from: The Bully (Bluford High Series #5) (Book 5) (Paperback)

Paul Langon showed me in this book The Bully the setting, plot, conflict, characters, point of view, and theme. The theme of the this book is about a boy named Darrell Mercer who lived in Philly but moved to California because his mom had lost her job and they became very poor. So Darrell's uncle Jason moves them to California with his famil and gave the mom a new job there she was making more money. Darrell was very mad at his mom because he didn't want to move it was his freshman year in high school . Darrell problem was that he was really skinny and short for his age he looked more like a 5th grader than a 9th grader. So Darrell first dat in California he walked to a corner store where he ran into a boy named Tyray He was large for his age. Darrell found out that they where freshman's in went to Bluford High the new school he was going to start going to so they told Darrell he better start bringing them $10.00 a week Darrell was scared so he decided to pay them. Later that day Darrell meet a girl named Amberlynn he thought she was the prettist girl he had ever seen Darrell found out they she also went to Bluford High. On his first day he found out he had 2 class with Amberlynn amd 3 with Tyray . After his first day he was sad because he went through a hole day with out anyone talking to him. Darrell ran into an old lady at the store she told him she had a grandson named Harold that went to Bluford High so the next day when Darrell went to school he wanted to look for Harold. Darrell found Harold and they became best friends Tyray was still bullying Darrell it had gotten worse because Tyray found out that Amberlynn liked Darrell and Tyray became very jealous. Darrell could not take being bullyed anymore so he wanted to join the wrestling team so he could build confidence and become stronger. Darrell had started to get muscle's at his first match he lost by two point's. The next day at lunch Tyray was made because Darrell didn't pay him his $10.00 they got into a fight Darrell won and Tyray was suspended for bullying. After the fight Darrell had seen that he was not alone anymore he had a girlfriend Amberlynn and a bestfriends Harold. Darrell was not ever bullyed after that anymore

5.0 out of 5 stars The Bully, March 8, 2006

A Kid's Review

Ever had to deal with a bully? Darrell has to deal with a new home, a new school, and a new bully named Tyray. Tyray forces Darrell to pay him every friday. Tyray complains how he doesn't like collecting it everyday so he decides to just collect $10.00 every friday at the end of the week. Tyray has threatened Darrell that if he doesn't pay Tyray that Tyrary would hurt Darrell..... bad! Everywhere Darrell goes Tyray goes to follow Darrell around and bully him. Along with bullies at school Darrell is also trying to help his little cousin when he faces a bully, and his bully is in his own family! The book The Bully by Paul Langan is a book of growing confidence and trust. Once you start this book you can't put it down until it is finished. This is a long book, but don't let that hold you off, it will seem like it took you two days to read it!!!

4.0 out of 5 stars pretty good book, very useful for middle school boys group, April 2, 2007

By	Amy Pearson Why Abstinence "educator" (chattanooga, tn) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

the book has been helpful in our small group of middle school inner city boys. we are using it to discuss a variety of topics and behavior related to bullying.

since it is out of print it was VERY helpful buying it from amazon.com. they were in great condition, delivered quickly, and helped our groups get started earlier!
