Or maybe not. Well, only if it wouldn't be too painful.The story is about bullies, a bully named Sully. Usually, I'm not too fond of bullies, but Sully's logic (or lack thereof) had me and my kids laughing. Plus, with Karmack around, Sully definitely gets what's coming to him. . .*cough* I mean, his balance was maintained.This was a fun story, which actually caught my interest more than I thought it would during the first pages. Yep, I found it a little difficult to get into the characters at first. Some of that has to simply do with the fact that the main charaters are bullies--it's hard to 'feel' for a bully--and some of it had to do with the writing. I wasn't really connecting to it. So, I pulled in my intended audience troops and asked them. They were a tiny bit confused by one of the side-characters in the beginning - the Squealer. But after short explanation and a couple of small rough spots, we were all enjoying the story.Karmack is a lovable character. He's clever and small and hard to get a hold of and knows exactly what he's doing. My kids were peeking in the bushes later to see if they could find Karmack somewhere around our house too.
