A Topic that is quite passionate to me and means alot is the theme of Standing Up against Bullies as somebody who was bullied , it can be tough and at points you can feel so down about things. This Children's book is aimed at 5-8yrs old.


Chester Raccoon and the Big Bad Bully

Review: Chester Raccoon and the Big Bad Bully- Audrey Penn- August 2009
Coming up in the Chester Raccoon Series by Audrey Penn which due to Netgalley http://www.netgalley.co.nz/ , I have been able to enjoy , is Chester Raccoon and the Big Bad Bully. I find that each of Audrey's books feature a moral and a lesson to learn , be it sharing , making friends and in today's book, it touches on an issue which is dear to my heart - Bullying. Chester and his brother Ronny are too scared to go to school, because their is a mean bully who is nasty to everyone - Badger. Chester Raccoon's mother talks to Chester about Bullying and why people become bullies and how to deal with them, we read as Chester takes his mum's advice and soon we see a complete turnaround in Badger as he realises that it is not very nice being a bully and that you can get more life satisfaction from being a friend. Jam-packed into a 32pg book , Chester Raccoon and the Big Bad Bully is the perfect book to read and discuss with ages 5-8yrs.

We also catch a glimpse during this book of her past and why Aiden King's father blames her for his mother's death and why Aiden considered Elsa a ghost. I liked this book as it was more intense with Elsa's memories and past returning. In Book #2 it is revealed about he...

  Review: Punk 57 - Penelope Douglas - October 2016 As soon as I read Bully by Penelope Douglas, I was in love with this author. So when she released a new one who had my favorite theme of penpals and that whole friend to lovers going on, I knew I had to read it. The book started out with a bit of background where we learned about how Misha and Ryen were placed together in a classroom project penpal program.

Fast forward to high school Misha is in a band and Ryen is out with her friends and they complete a scavenger hunt form. Ryen is not what Misha expected especially from her letters. Tragedy occurs, and Misha turns up at Ryen's school under a fake name. This doesn't go over too well as Ryen is nothing like her letters, in fact, she is as fake as can be and Misha aka Masen hates her, in fact, she...
