The Call of the Bully by Scott Starkey - - OPTIONAL

Starkey, Scott The Call of the Bully, 264 pgs. Simon and Schuster Books for Young Readers. 2013 $6.99. 

Language: G (0 swears) Violence: G; Mature Content: G.

Rodney Rathbone is back and headed to summer camp!  But Wy-Mee camp isn’t all fun and games.  In fact, his old enemy Josh is there along with some new bullies, too. But when Rodney finally lands in the “Loserville” cabin, his camp experience begins to turn around, and with the help of his new friends, maybe this summer will turn out OK after all.  

In this follow-up to How to Beat the Bully Without Really Trying, Rodney again battles bullies (mostly adult ones). Many funny situations will keep the reader laughing, but mean isn't funny in my book and the improbable situations went a bit “overboard”.
