This book is about a girl named Jessica who is always worried, she is worried about her socks matching and her knobby knees. Her biggest worry in first grade was Brenda Bailey, the perfect girl at school. This girl made fun of Jessica's knobby knees, made fun of how she played kick ball, and made fun of her when her mom packed her brother's lunchbox for her. Brenda is the bully in school and she has gotten Jessica down, even to the point of eating with Jessica's friends and having her eat alone. Jessica talks to her mom about it and she tells her what she should do and how she should stick up for herself. Jessica goes back to school and gets made fun of by Brenda again, but Jessica sticks up for herself and that takes Brenda by surprise! Then there was no more bullying for Jessica!
Evaluation:
This book is highly recommended for the older ages, such as ten to fourteen! I think those entering the higher grades could really use this book because it is important for them to know how they could get rid of bullies since they tend to exist a lot. I think this is a good book to show them that bullies can be gotten rid of, they just really need to stand up for themselves!
Mischief Managed.
