The Bully Book by Eric Kahn Gale
3.0
Let me tell you about something called The Social Order. You can't see it, smell it, or touch it, but it's everywhere and it controls everything. It says who's cool, who's lame, and who's not worth talking to.
What is it saying about you? Look around your class. Where do you fit in?
This was a great book about bullying. It is a story of a bully "guide" book and a journal style by another boy named Eric.
although the day to day awful struggles are powerful, by far the last chapter is the strongest I've read in a while. and it made me want to stand and clap at his author.
My only frustration was the use of the phrase "you're gay" or "he's gay"
I'm glad Eric FINALLY screamed at them about it - to stop! And I love this author's stance on it - that there is NOTHING wrong with being gay! And calling someone gay, whether they are or aren't, isn't an insult!
