More About This Book

Overview

MEET JAKE DRAKE,

BULLY BUSTER.


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.

Fourth-grader Jake Drake relates how he comes to terms with SuperBully Link Baxter, especially after they are assigned to be partners on a class project.

Editorial Reviews

From Barnes & Noble
Fourth-grader Jake Drake feels as if he has spent most of his life being victimized by Link Baxter. Of course, that's not exactly true, but mild-mannered Jake has received more than his fair share of abuse from the classmate nicknamed SuperBully. Then, as if to add insult to injury, Jake discovers that he's been paired with Link on a Thanksgiving school project. While they're engaged in this creative task, the two of them discover a bond of mutual respect. A humorous take on an all-too-common problem.
Children's Literature
Jake Drake was bully bait from preschool right through second grade. Like a magnet he attracted Destructo who tore up his projects in preschool, King Bump who seized every bumpable moment in kindergarten, and The Fist who smashed Jake's lunch every day in first grade. Jake relaxed in the best class in second grade ... until the Super Bully showed up. Life was miserable and got worse when Super Bully Link and Jake were assigned to a project together. Jake's little sister clues him in that acting mad invites meanness. Jake uses his brain to tackle the bully problem and discovers behind Link's bully face another face, and a nicer person. This realistic chapter book, first in a series, will attract young readers with its engaging character and real-life situations. The teacher's edition comes with a guide for classroom discussions and a selection of activities and projects. 2001, Aladdin Paperbacks/Simon & Schuster Children's Publishing Division,

School Library Journal
Gr 2-4-A fourth grader looks back over his years in school and his early experiences as a "bully magnet." Even as a preschooler, Jake was the perfect victim-medium sized, moderately smart, and not inclined to tattle to the authorities. He relates how, in second grade, he came up against a SuperBully, Link Baxter, who taunted him on the bus, ruined his schoolwork, and generally made his life miserable. When the boys were paired up to do a Thanksgiving project, Jake was forced to do all the research. As it turned out, however, the SuperBully was a talented model maker and sometimes forgot to be mean when he was involved in creative work. Then, moments before their class presentation, Jake discovered that Link was terrified of public speaking. Although briefly tempted to take revenge, he instead agreed to let Link be a silent participant while he gave the oral presentation. While the tone of the book is light and humorous, it is a realistic look at a common problem. There is no instant change of heart, although the two adversaries end with a reluctant respect for one another. More important is the peace theme-Jake recognizes that "behind- [every] bully face, there's another face. A real face." For a slightly younger audience than the author's Frindle (S & S, 1996), this title is a must for character-education and conflict-resolution programs and will have strong appeal to transitional readers.-Elaine E. Knight, Lincoln Elementary Schools, IL Copyright 2001 Cahners Business Information.

    Review for Jake Drake Bully Buster

    Jake had alot of bullyies in his day, but his worst was in 2nd grade. His name was Link. Later in the school year Jake and Link had a project to do together. Jake did the research and Link made the project. I would tell my friends about this book because I think it is 5 stars. I knew somebody who had a bully problem like Jake's. I know this because she was my best friend. Thats how I can relate to this book.

    Jake Drake, Bully Buster

    Jake drake buster is about a boy who was bullyied by a boy named Link. Jake and Link were in the same class. When I read this book I wanted somebody to stand up to Link. Link should stop being a bully. Jake should stand up to the bully'S. I like the book because it tell's you what to do with a bully. Nobody should be bully. I also like the because it tell's you characteristics of a bully.

    Jake Drake, Bully Buster

    Jake Drake is in 4th grade.He is a bully magnet.In preschool there was a bully called Nose Boy.He took Jake's cookies.In 1st grade there was a bully.In 2nd grade there was no bully,but then a boy came in.His name was Link.Link started getting Jake in trouble. I liked this book because it was interesting. At first I thought it would not be good, but then I started reading it and it really was good. It was cool that Jake was a bully buster. I would recommend this book to most kids who like to see creativity and excitement.
