    About this ebook

    "One day I realized that I had to create a little, yet powerful survival guide that any kid could use as a life-saving device when they were being bullied in the gym, the cafeteria, the locker room, the hallways - anywhere. A guide that could help any kid dry their tears and put a half smile on their face. A guide that could convince a kid to come out of the bathroom stall that they have locked themselves in and see the flickering light at the end of the tunnel. A guide that could be a road map, a flashlight, or a friend." - The Survival Guide to Bullying.

      Letters to Mum

      Dear Mum, There are still times when I go to call you. It seems inexplicable to me that you actually died. I used to wonder how it would feel, and after 16 years, I’m still not sure. The main thing I want to tell you is that I get it now. I understan

      I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It's designed, as the title suggests, as a survival guide for kids who are being bullied, but there are so many different layers, I think that it could really benefit anyone, at any age.

      Aija's story is both sad and inspirational. She doesn't give too many details about her own personal experience with bullying; just enough for you to know that this girl knows what she's talking about, and for you to understand that, if you're being bullied, you're not alone.

      Much of this book contains practical advice to how to handle being bullied at school. And of course, it's American-centric. In the rest of the world, we're the bit different, in the sense that we don't have "hallways" or "lunch rooms" per se (since our school premises are mostly outdoors, with only individual class rooms and administration offices being indoors), and we wear school uniforms. This mitigates some of the things that an American kid might be bullied for, but also adds a few other things that they don't have to worry about.

      Speaking of which, I really enjoyed the list of things that you may be bullied for (spoiler alert: it's literally endless). There is absolutely no way you can predict what kind of things about yourself would make a bully target you, which means that there is absolutely nothing you can do or not do to stop from being targeted by bullies. You would think that this news would be depressing, but it's not. It lets us know that we're not alone, and millions of people around the world suffer from the same things we do.

      I'm an adult, but I was bullied as a kid, and I can identify with a lot of what Ms Mayrock talks about in this book. I also really enjoyed the chapter of Cyber Bullying, because that's something that can affect you no matter how old you are or where you are in life. Then, the final chapter, about the benefits of bullying, I can also really identify with. I fully understand that what I went through in school has shaped who I am today, and I would be a completely different person, were it not for those experiences.

      The author is a very wise young lady, and I think her message is a truly powerful one. I'm going to be recommending this book to kids I meet, or even parents I meet, of kids who are suffering from bullying. I honestly think it could be a huge help to them.

      I enjoyed Aija's "Roems" and little inspirational messages as well. The only issue I have is that they're a bit weird in an ebook, because they're handwritten pages, inserted into the book as images. It makes them rather difficult to read on small screens - but on my 10.1" tablet, I didn't have too many problems.
