The Bully is written by Paul Langan. This book is a coming
of age story and overcoming your fears as you read through the story you will
follow the main character Darrell as his life changes in very big ways.
The story is about a boy from Philadelphia, named Darrell
Mercer, that makes a huge move across the US to California starting at a new school
with a new bully that Darrell has to face without having anybody that he had
back in Philadelphia.
The stories overcoming narrative is very compelling one huge
quote that stood out to me while I was reading was “A man’s gotta stand up when
someone else is in trouble, even if it means he might get himself into
trouble.” that line really stood out to me because as much as it related to the
character and what he was going through I know I’ve been in situations where
that has happened and it is really awesome that I can really relate to the
story in a different way.
I believe that a lot of people can relate to the character
if not maybe even learn from that character to overcome your fears and to not
allow people to walk all over you. If you're looking for an underdog story that
relates to a lot in the world and something you can learn from I’d recommend
The Bully for you.
