Weinberger, Justin Reformed, 210 pages. Scholastic Press, MARCH 2017. $17.
Ian, twelve, and his friends have been sent for six weeks at
bully reform school.
In order to enjoy this story, I have to be able to buy the
premise that Ian and his friends are all rotten and that they did something
that warrants six weeks in a reform school with older kids – but I don’t. I can’t buy into the premise, so I didn’t
enjoy the book. This is the third book
I have tried to read about reforming bullies this month – and not one of them
has been worth the time.
NOT RECOMMENDED.

Really, are there ANY books about bullying that are done well? So done with the topic.
