Book reviewed by Stacey on www.whisperingstories.com
There is a new pupil at Kamyla’s school. The new girl, Nikita, is rather rough and hurtful. She doesn’t know how to play properly and although Kamyla tried to make her feel welcome and is kind to her, the new girl is just mean.
One morning Kamyla is upset, she doesn’t want to go to school. Her parents reassure her that they have spoken to her teacher and are going to school with her to speak to the school counsellor about Nikita and that the teacher has a special job just for Kamyla today. However, Nikita is jealous of Kamyla’s special job and the two have a falling out resulting in Kamyla getting hurt again.
The next day Nikita isn’t in school, nor the next. Nikita is in hospital after falling down the stairs at home. Could there be a reason for Nikita being horrible?
I’m willing to bet that bullying of some form goes on or has happened at every school at some point. There are lots of forms of bullying and in Kamyla Chung and the Classroom Bully, the form of bullying is physical resulting in Kamyla getting hurt.
There are also lots of reasons that someone becomes a bully, I don’t believe that every bully is copying bad behaviour, or is brought up that way, I’m a great believer in that some people are just mean and enjoy being mean. In this book, there is a clear reason for Nikita’s behaviour and it is handled in a sensitive way that young children will understand.
The book is a wonderful introduction to bullying for children and especially would be a perfect read for those children being bullied or even those that are the bully to make them understand how hurtful they are being.
The full-page illustrations complement the story and I love how the colouring changes depending on the mood of Kamyla.
A very sweet book that covers a subject all kids need to learn about. It also touches on what a Foster Parent is and why someone might need one. It would make a wonderful class read to highlight bullying.

Did you know 1 out of 4 kids is bullied and 1 out of 5 kids admit to being a bully? It’s important to teach kids about the negative effects of bullying, early-on. With the help of our RWYK Certified Great Read program, we are excited to bring to you a perfect book that addresses bullying, friendship, kindness and more.
Kamyla Chung and the Classroom Bully by Ellwyn Autumn and illustrated by Dahn Tran has a powerful anti-bullying message and follows the story of Kamyla Chung, who loves going to school until a new student in her class, Nikita begins to disrupt the classroom. It becomes difficult for Kamyla to learn and have a great time in school with Nikita continually acting up. One day both the girls get into an argument and Kamyla gets hurt. Eventually, Nikita stops coming to school and Kamyla learns about Nikita’s struggles at her home and what inspired Nikita to act the way she did. Kamyla realizes that a small act of kindness–like giving Nikita a friendship can go a long way!
The illustrations and use of color depict the changing feelings of the little girls in the story. It’s a wonderful conversation starter and brings forward a feeling that exists in every classroom. I love the storyline and love the fact that the classroom bully Nikita ended up with a friend. It also offers a nice way to teach kids about bullies as well as help them understand that sometimes bullying behavior is the result of something deeper.
I also love that this book promotes diversity by showcasing biracial parents(An African-American mom and a Chinese dad). The author does a great job by featuring a family that looks different than your typical children’s story. A great tool for parents and teachers to share lessons about diversity and family. Ellwyn’s book also introduces kids to the concept of foster care. It explains why some kids need to have foster parents.
This is the book that parents can use to teach kids about bullying, an issue that often rears its head at the beginning of a new school year.

Title: Kamyla Chung and the Classroom Bully
Author: Ellwyn Autumn
Reviewers: Lorraine Leatham and J. Nelson - Rainey Day Book Reviews
Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
This book is really well written and perfect for parents and teachers to use in conversations regarding bullying, physical abuse, foster care, fear, and compassion for others. Kamyla is a personable character and young readers identify with her. She is bullied by another girl at school we soon learn that much more than bullying involved. Kamyla and her former bully become friends. Highly recommend this book. I used it myself as a teaching and discussion with my 10 year old son.

This is an important topic that all kids need to learn about, and another helpful book by this author. I would recommend this book for parents and teachers, to help children understand how to deal with bullying at school.
I also recommend the author's book "Kamyla Chung and the Creepy-Crawlies" which helps children overcome their fear of the dark and help them at bedtime.
