Jake Drake, Bully Buster

(4) 4-6 Illustrated by Amanda Harvey. A new series introduces fourth-grader Jake but then, strangely, goes back to describe his experiences dealing with a bully in second grade. Jake tells how he dealt with Link Baxter by first ignoring him, then fighting back, and eventually coming to understand a little bit about his persecutor. Although there's nothing original about this standard story, it reads quickly and easily.
