Fifteen-year-old Henry Wilton has come to the end of his line. After years of harassment and humiliation, he now must change his young life quickly. He devises a plan that forces him to confront his fears and anxiety in order to defeat his enemies in school — not just the kids, but the adults who knew what was happening and did nothing to stop it. And he must fight this war alone. A story of growing courage, bitter retribution and final redemption, Bully Boy exposes the raw nature of school abuse, and human behavior, as few novels have done before.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Tom Wade is a writer who lives in Colorado.
This is a great book to read! It follows a young man in high school who is bullied. Yeah, we all know about bully stories, but you don't know this one. This is an entirely new take on what can be an overly stereotyped topic. As a reader, you will be completely surprised at how Henry goes about resolving his own bully issue and his attempts to rid bullying in every form, no matter the source. As I got deeper into the story, I literally could not put the book down, wanting to see just how far Henry was willing to go in his crusade, and what the fallout would be from his unorthodox approach. As for Henry himself you wonder where will he go from here after such an ordeal. Will he learn again to have patience and accepts flaws in others or is he destined to find the next battle royal?
The story line is all too familiar, many of us have experienced some sort of bullying in our younger days, especially at school. The book quickly elevates the reader into the main character. Henry has finally had enough and is ready to confront ALL of the bullies ! I found myself cheering him on as page after page reveals his plan and his dedication to ridding his school of the classic bully and some unexpected characters that don’t even realize themselves how much they are part of the problem.
A great read ! Hard to put down. I would love the author to conceive a shorter version, an easier read, of his story that could be available to grammar school age. Maybe it would help curb the more harmful high school days, especially with the elevated presence of social media and the direct effect it is having on young adults. Mike T.
This was a very good and enlightening book. Should be read by everyone, especially teachers and administrators. I loved the writing, and I am waiting anxiously for more by this author.
