The book is well written with quality examples and was easy to read due to a clear and consistent layout and the reader experiences is enhanced by the multitude of perspectives given by contributors to the book.. "Bullying" according to emmie. This book had a lot of interesting ideas and perspectives of bullying in schools. It gave a lot of great ideas about programs that could be used in schools and how each could be formulated to best fit your school. Great testimonials as well!.
