Synopsis

Jake Drake has always been a bully magnet. Ever since nursery school, bigger kids have been giving him tons of trouble. When Link Baxter and his family move in down the street, and Link joins Jake's class in school, Jake finds out right away that he's not just a bully--he's a Superbully! Link makes fun of Drake at every available opportunity and even gets Drake sent to the principle's office. What can Jake do to stop these attacks? Andrew Clements' tale is a great first chapter book for children, and its valuable lessons speak to anyone who has ever been targeted by a classmate. Johnny Heller's honest narration ensures a good listen.
