What is The Bully Book? Part mystery, part tragedy, part comedy. Originally self-published as an ebook by a member of Team Starkid, The Bully Book is now available in hardcover, paperback, and ebook editions. The paperback includes a Q&A with the author.
Eric Haskins, the new sixth-grade bully target, is searching for answers. And unlike many of us who experienced something awful growing up, he finds them. Though they may not be what he expected.
When the author was eleven, he was bullied. This book is loosely based on incidents that happened to him in sixth grade.
The Bully Book is a Top Ten Indie Next List pick of 2013, and Publishers Weekly called The Bully Book a "gripping debut novel."
Editorial Reviews
From Booklist
Part instruction manual, part journal from the trenches, this debut novel incorporates both sides of the bullying issue into a single narrative. Eric Haskins is an average kid who has coasted through elementary school with a couple of friends and without attracting undue attention. But this year he is the “Grunt,” the kid that everyone in sixth grade hates. Unsure of what he has done wrong, Eric becomes obsessed with getting his hands on the mythic Bully Book, which will supposedly tell him why he has been designated the Grunt. Eric keeps a journal, pages of which are intermixed with pages from the Bully Book. Reading the two together highlights how enigmatic the problem is for the child who is on the receiving end of a clearly defined set of unwritten rules. The fact that the Bully Book writes all the rules down adds a conspiratorial menace to the story. It is an over-the-top approach, yet it reinforces the insidious nature of bullying and its continued prevalence in the lives of middle-schoolers. Grades 3-6. --Kara Dean --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.
Review
“[A] gripping debut novel...a layered and attention-grabbing mystery. Gale’s accounts of bullying are subtle and chilling, but readers will finish the book believing that the humiliations Eric suffers can be conquered.” (Publishers Weekly)
“A compelling and unusual look at a complex and intractable problem that succeeds admirably as story as well.” (Kirkus Reviews)
“[F]ast paced, with strong character voice in the writing...Great for discussion.” (School Library Journal)
From the Back Cover
To Whom It May Concern:
This is a record of The Bully Book and what it did to me.
How I fought it, and the way it fought back. . . .
I used to think The Bully Book was a myth. Then maybe a mystery I could solve.
Now I know it's a monster and I'm trying to defeat it.
Are you with me . . . or The Book?
