Customer Reviews

Insightful

I haven't actually finished this book. Once again I purchased a book that is for older kids when my boy is only 4. This book is too long and in depth for him. But when he gets old enough for a longer book it will be a good one. I read bits and pieces through out the book, and it is very well written. It is in clear language from the point of view of a kid who is bullied. His observations of the bullies is interesting. It comes across as very real. The part about a snotty nose boy who snatches his cookies and takes a bite out of each and returns them. Then his observation that the cookies are now tainted so he gives them to the boy. He says I was only 3 how did I know. And if grown ups are so smart why do they allow kids to bully other kids? I have the feeling I am really inside the mind of a boy who is thinking about things. I like it. I can't wait to read it to my son when he is old enough.

Gift for grandson

My grandson loves the Jake Drake books.He is in the in-between ages of being read to and learning to read himself, so these are perfect. They arrived in the condition they were advertised in and ahead of time. Thank you, alemesh@aol.com

Jake Drake bully buster

I read Jake Drake bully buster.It is a great book and if you asked me to give you up to five stars it would be five stars.I thought that it was a great book and that ages 8 and up would be a great age to be reading this book. The writer of the book made you really get into the book you would not want to stop reading it. I would recommend this book to everyone and I would say if you like Jake Drake bully buster try reading the other books too. The book is about bully's and being mean (which we should not do). One of the charters is Link he was 8 years old and wanted to be the MVP on the bully "all star team" and I think all kid's would say he made the team. Link was a brat to Jake and Jake was sick of being messed around with and just wanted his class to be "bully free" but I guess that couldn't happen.

Jake drake review for me

I liked this book, because I found it to be a good book.. The character Jake had a big problem. When I was reading the book, I had to keep reading to find out what happened next. If I could read anther book by Andrew Clement I would. He is a good a author.
