![]() ![]() This would be a great book to recommend to students going through a hardship at home or at school. Find out what Tod and his bully friends have done and is the punishment worth the crime? You won’t find out until nearly the end of the book: the mystery is a big part of the appeal for many readers. Anyone who’s every bullied or been bullied will likely see a part of themselves in this novel. Tod’s age and year is school is left vague which should it appeal to both middle school and high school aged students. Find out what a bully has to say about himself. ![]() The story’s appeal comes from Tod’s strong voice and the character development by Shulman. You won’t likely agree with everything he has to say, and you will likely disagree with some of his truths about life. Yet, his observations are pretty spot on. He’s cynical about school, the administration and life. Why would I want to read about a bully you may ask yourself? Because you’ll love Tod just as much I as I did after reading the story. Meet Tod Munn, he’s an overweight bully who steals lunch money and pushes around other kids. ![]()
