Book Review: Sorry, I'm Not Sorry

This book, Sorry, I'm Not Sorry is written by Nancy Rue as the third book in a trilogy. When I saw the description of the book I thought it would go along with some research I was doing on being bullied. Instead it is from the bully's point of view. The writing is very good. Rue does do a good job portraying the bullying issue with middle/high school students. The series also includes one book, So Not OK, written from a bystander's viewpoint and You Can't Sit with Us from the victim.

I believe that the author does a good job expressing what is going on and I would recommend the series to middle age to young adult readers.

I was given this book by NetGalley and Tom Nelson's Children in exchange for my honest review.

Children's book review: Charlie's Birthday Wish

Charlie's Birthday Wish takes a look at bullying from a bully that regret's his actions. Charlie's mother needs a list of friends for his birthday party. Charlie needs to find the words to tell his mom how he does not have any friends due to his own actions.

The illustrations are bright and eye-catching. The story is a good read for parent's to read aloud or for the independent reader to show the effects of bullying, regret and forgiveness.

This book was given to me by the author, Rene Micka, NetGalley and Mirror Publishing in exchange for my honest review.
