My War With Brian

Summary: Great book on bullying
Review: What if a school bully COULDN'T be avoided, and COULDN'T be stopped with adult intervention, although he was regularly severely beating you?
This happened to young Ted Rall, who took the logical next step and tried to murder his tormenter. Follow the bizarre but true story in this captivating book.
While this book is valuable for the story itself, it would be especially helpful for parents wishing to understand the world of adolescents, and for adolescents to understand the world of bullying -- perhaps a springboard for discussion with parents. There are definitely mature themes in this book, so don't just hand it to a young child.
To follow up on Ted Rall today, check out his opinion columns in Yahoo News Op/Ed, and his fascinating books such as _To Afghanistan and Back: A Graphic Travelogue_.
