Bully Bait (The Odd Squad)

Bully Bait (The Odd Squad #1) -- Michael Fry


Nick is short. Molly is tall. Karl is...well, Karl is Karl. Together they are the Safety Patrol. Sort of. Dr. Daniels, the school counselor, decided that they need something to keep them from being a target to the campus bully, Roy. Really? Being in the Safety Patrol is suppose to prevent bullying?

This odd group of youngsters receives guidance from the custodian of Emily Dickinson Middle School, Mr. Dupree. Mr. Dupree teaches them the art of surveillance and disguise. (Enter Karl dressed as a sea monkey.)

Nick is determined to make Roy stop shoving him in his locker. There's nothing worse than Zombie butt and log legs from being crammed in a locker for too long.

Can this band of misfits work together against Roy?



Diary of a Wimpy Kid fans rejoice! Here's something to keep you entertained. Laugh out loud funny! (My 7th graders were giving me strange looks because I was so loud.)
