This ebook is marked down 100%--it's $0.00. Unlike (all?) other posts that I've made, however, I didn't take into consideration the amount of markdown when deciding to post this one. I'm posting it because I think that it could be tremendously helpful to children who are being bullied at school and other places. The importance of this was driven home to me when a boy at the middle school right down the road from where I live took his own life recently. Investigation revealed that he had been regularly bullied at school; the implication of news reports was that he took his own life because of it.

Information on the book's webpage suggests that this book is appropriate for ages 10-18. Although the book is intended for children, I felt that it was more appropriate to post it on the Non-Fiction thread than the Children's/YA thread, because of the active role that parents will want to play in having their children read it and, possibly, following up with them after they have read it.
