I feel like a child wrote this book. It's very amateurish. I mean, there's a plot and the story is coherent but it was boring and utterly predictable.
The art was good but not my favorite.
It's a very thin book with a picture on every page, so you'd think it's for the younger children but it deals with bullying and has lots of text which is for middle grade kids, usually. Which is another issue I have; it's not for little kids but I doubt middle grade children will want to read it.
Billy is a happy go lucky kid that no kid will ever relate to. He frickin loves school so much he jumps out of bed and takes a quick shower and runs downstairs to eat breakfast so he can go to school. He loves school so much he thinks about all the activities he'd get to do in school while he's riding the bus. Seriously, do you guys know any kid like that? I liked school. But I never jumped out of bed and rushed to school unless I was late. And on the bus you'd think Billy would be talking to his friends like kids usually do, since it's said that Billy liked making friends.
Anyway, Billy gets depressed when he starts getting bullied. And then he stands up for himself and then his teacher tells him he should've just tattled. Which is it? Should I be like Billy and stand up for myself or should I tattle??
I hate the formatting. The whole thing uses this child-handwriting font (not recommended!) and there's a couple of pages where the font fills the whole pages with single spacing between the lines--it's hard on the eyes!!

I won this book in a GoodReads giveaway. I was reading this to my grand daughter and we both got lost in the middle of the book. I had to go back and re-read a couple pages. The two boys names were mixed up in two paragraphs so it totally took your mind off the message in the book to try and figure out what was going on. The idea is good, but the book is not.
