Review: 6 Stars -- Great Book about the Life and Adventures of a Bullied Kid!
Rating: 5 out of 5

As someone who suffered bullying in elementary school, I felt this book did an excellent job of capturing the life of a bullied kid, and I loved the puppy and how his and Sam's friendship develop! From the first sentence, this book pulls you in as you follow Sam and his preparations ″not to go to school.″ This book has a clear and funny style and the pictures throughout are really engaging, but more than that, it's the characters that really jump off the page--especially Sam, who is a super clever, likable and resourceful kid!!! I think this book is an excellent choice for young readers, and older readers looking to get in touch with (or exorcise some of the demons of) their younger selves. Wish I could give this 6 Stars! Excellent book!
