The bully from the Black Lagoon

A new student arrives at school with a fearsome reputation already trailing him — did he really eat the teacher's pet? Beat up every kid at his last school, twice? Told from the perspective of a nervous classmate, this Black Lagoon picture book follows an imagination running wild with playground rumor, before the story arrives at a gentler truth: the "bully" isn't who anyone assumed.

Part of Mike Thaler and Jared Lee's long-running Black Lagoon picture book series, which pairs an anxious child narrator with an exaggerated fear about ordinary school life.
