Title: Didn't expect a Christian parable
Review: I purchased this book for my 13-year old adopted son who lives a victim's persona from his abused history and also demonstrates some bullying characteristics himself. The description seemed perfectly suited to his current life.It wasn't until Chapter 6, page 108, that the true point of the book was revealed: "The antidote to our 'playground poison' can be found in religious faith and values." The way to stop bullying is to impose moral law, and that requires a moral law giver. One can only surmise the author hopes to re-introduce (the Christian) God into the public classroom.If the editorial reviews had mentioned this was a Christian book, God or disclosed the author was a religious writer, I wouldn't have been surprised. And I would not have purchased the book.I expected a sociological or psychological approach to bullying, not "restore religion in the classroom to solve bullying."
Is the review positive or negative?
