SuEllen Fried created BullySafeUSA, a bullying prevention program that has been introduced to 90,000 students in thirty-six states.

Please visit the author at her website, http://www.bullysafeusa.com/Blanche Sosland is professor emerita at Park University in Parkville, Missouri, and education consultant and author. She has taught in classrooms ranging from early childhood and head start to middle school.

Bullying has unfortunately become a major issue in school communities. Fried and Sosland have extensive experience to support their writing. Fried created a bully prevention program, BullySafeUSA, which is utilized in 36 states, in addition to authoring four books on the topic. Sosland brings her classroom expertise to the topic. The book defines bullying behavior; gives profiles of the bullies, targets, and witnesses; and discusses types of bullying (e.g., physical, verbal, emotional, sexual, and cyber bullying). The authors also give examples across grade levels. Most helpful is the authors' description of roles of each change agent, including administrators, teachers (they address specific content area teachers separately), parents, counselors, bus drivers, cafeteria workers, and others. This holistic approach assists communities in changing the culture of the school and challenges readers to end this cycle of pain. Summing Up: Recommended. Graduate, research, and professional collections.
