Barbara Henderson	Books on bullying! - 2008/06/23 14:41 Hi I'd like to find some books aimed at 9-12 age group where child characters overcome bullies - preferably not by magic!! All my trawls on the Internet seem to come up with are self-help type things and I am looking for fiction. Can anyone recommend any good ones? Thanks BarbaraH

Barbara Henderson	Re:Books on bullying! - 2008/06/24 10:59 Thank you Nikki, this looks ideal! Best wishes Barbara PS If any knows of any similar with a girl protagonist, that would be helpful too.

Re:Books on bullying! - 2008/06/24 12:11 I can think of a couple off the top of my head, although two of the three have protagonists in their mid-teens...

Start, though, with Jacqueline Wilson's Bad Girls.

The other two are Getting Rid of Karenna (now republished as Saturday Girl) by helena Pielichaty, and Jigsaw by Carol Hedges - but beware this last one; the bully commits suicide, and the novel is the story of one of his victim's attempts to find out why.

Hope this helps.

Best wishes, Nikki
