A lot of parents expressed concern over their children reading this, as the ten-year-old cast cusses and uses violence. The swearing is rather mild (although at one point the protagonist calls the teacher a "b**ch" at one point and if that bothers you as a parent you may want to skip this one), and the violence is important. Every child should read this around the age of ten or eleven. As a student teacher, if I'd had a chance to teach older kids, I would have liked to talk over bullying from this book, and get some insight. Why is this book so important? It's a harsh, realistic look at how bullying works. Bullies target people who stand out, but then only continue if the victim doesn't know how to stand up for themselves. The book illustrates that you have to stand up for yourself and that telling adults often doesn't work if you don't put in any effort to stop it yourself. And every other kid will join in on the bullying in order to not get picked on. The narrator of this book pretends to think the bullying is funny and willingly joins in, but the minute she stands up to the leader, everyone turns on her instead. And she stands up for herself, refuses to let herself be a victim and the kids leave her alone after a few days. An interesting point - the narrator's mother tells her to laugh off the taunts, but although that's good advice, this actually doesn't work. She tries it, and they just keep saying horrible things about her and keep calling her a baby. It's only when she sticks up for herself that the bullying stops by refusing to play the game the way the main bully wants. Every child should read this because they need to know about the effect of bullying both on the victim and anyone else. Bullies often don't think of themselves as bullies - they just find pleasure in picking on people who can't or don't know how to stand up for themselves. We need people to discuss this, to give your child an insight into what it means and what you should do, whether you're a class leader, a victim, or a bystander. A note - Judy Blume wrote this after her daughter experienced this. She was a bystander, who hated what was happening but was afraid to stand up to the bully. Even if this isn't happening on such a big scale everywhere, chances are it happens at some point in every school. We need to address it, and every child who gets a chance to talk about this book will be one step closer to ending it.

I also like Kenny and all his wierd and wonderfull facts! My favourite character was definitely Donna (she made me see the real beauty in horses!) I thought that mabey they could've added another class, besides the normal teacher and the halairious music lesson. Overall, I loved and thought it was a great book, and recommend it fully. ;p by Suki. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ph/products/59747351-blubber](https://www.desertcart.ph/products/59747351-blubber) --- *Product available on Desertcart Philippines* *Store origin: PH* *Last updated: 2026-05-22*
