Don't Feed the Bully is a fictional detective story aimed at boys 10-14, although, anyone who can read will love this funny and meaningful story.  Hannibal Greatneck III, detective, sixth grade student, or Handy to his friends, walks into William B. Travis elementary and finds a cage in the middle of the classroom.  The school has dealt with its bully problem by handing over all the power to another bully.  Handy must find the clues, outwit the villains, and return control of William B. Travis back to the students and faculty.  The story is a funny one with hilarious and serious undertones, but with great purpose:

1.  To get boys 10-14 to love reading by putting a book into their hands that is funny for them, plus has great lessons that they can easily understand and apply.

2.  A comforting ally in their own struggle with bullying.  They can see others have dealt with the problems and realities they are dealing with everyday from their fear of confrontation to the ignorance and apathy of most teachers and staff.

3.  To give them a few steps to master that will help quell the bully tide.  Plus, more in-depth help if they and their school system wants to truly help the cause of bullying.
