Justin and the Bully

(4) K-3 Ready-to-Read series. Illustrated by Vanessa Brantley Newton. These two volumes feature children from the same family facing different troublesome issues. In Bully, Justin and his soccer team must deal with a bully in their midst. In Mystery, Jade lies about eating an off-limits cupcake and then decides to confess. Both books have serviceable illustrations and offer worthwhile messages. However, an instructive, sometimes artificial tone makes the writing less effective. Review covers these Ready-to-Read titles: Justin and the Bully and The Missing Cupcake Mystery.
