School bullying is a growing problem in our society today. While the schools are attempting to control this age old problem, current research indicates that the best way to deal with bullying is for the child victim to change the way he is perceived by others. But how does a child do this when he has no idea about the concept of self image or skills for how to change this? This book is written from the perspective of a child who has become the target of many bullies, and feels helpless to make it stop. When given the opportunity to watch a friend handle bullying in a way that stops the negative behavior, the child victim has hope that his problem can be fixed. The book teaches skills for handling a bully from a child s perspective, and provides hope for a problem that is often devastating for a child.

Jake recounts his second grade introduction to Link Baxter, SuperBully, who becomes his class project partner, with surprising results. When Jake was three years old at Miss Lulu's Dainty Diaper Day Care Center, what did he know about bullies? Nothing. But he learned fast! Why? Because Jake was kind of smart and not a tattletale, and he had no big brother to protect him. He was a perfect bully magnet. But everything changed the year Jake was in second grade. That's when SuperBully Link Baxter moved to town. Jake had his hands full just trying to survive, until class project time. Who did the teacher assign to be Link's partner? You guessed it. Jake has to use all his smarts -- and his heart as well -- to turn himself from Jake Drake, Bully Magnet, to Jake Drake, Bully Buster.

With our help, our children can develop the confidence, courage, and knowledge to alter their experiences and excel in life.
