The Bully

I read the book The Bully by Paul Langan from the Bluford high series it is about a teenage boy named Darrell Mercer.He recently just moved in California.He and his mom had to move there because she had a job there.They also moved in with his uncle and his two kids.Darrell didn't want to move to California because he wouldn't be able to see his friends again.Darrell always wanted to be big and buff but he is small and thin.

It was Darrell’s first day at Bluford High School his mom told him to be nice and polite to everyone he sees.While walking to his new High School he sees two other kid that were taller Than named Tyray and Rodeney outside of a store.Tyray threatened Darrell for looking at him.Darrell walked away from them.One day Darrell was walking in a ally because it was a shorter way to get to school.There was two guys there it was Tyray and Rodeney.Tyray wanted Darrell’s money so he threatened to kill Darrell if he didn't give him money.Darrell was forced to give Tyray money everyday or else him would beat him.Darrell ran out of money so he had to steal from his mom.Darrell wanted to be tougher and stronger so he signed up for wrestling.

Slowly he was becoming stronger.One day Tyray saw Darrell walking and asked him for money in the cafeteria.Darrell refused and Tyray was mad and started a fight with Darrell but a teacher saw them arguing.Darrell said he was sick of being bullied.Tyray was embarrassed he had to hit.Did the teacher stop it in time?Did Tyray hit Darrell?

I recommend this book because it gets you hooked on and you wanna know what's gonna happen next.I read this book in 8th grade but I read it again in 9th.it is a really good book and has a lot of characters.I read this book because It kinda relates in my self Darrell is a freshmen and I am also a freshmen.If I had to rate this book 1 to 10 it would be 10 because it really gets you hooked on to the story
