This book is a literary graphic novel for middle grade kids that help students understand bullying behaviours from all perspectives – that of the victim, the bully, and the bystanders.
CJ, Eva, Zoe, Jax, and Ryan are all thrilled to be working on the school play…until CJ turns on Eva! CJ's diva-fied behaviour makes Eva's life miserable, and her friends uncomfortable.
With the help of their school counsellor, CJ's friends discover that they have the power to stand up to CJ's bullying. Together they learn how to be upstanding bystanders — and transform their school environment to a place where kind actions take centre stage.
Shield Up! also includes a Note to Readers with even more information about bullying, and practical strategies for standing up to bullying behaviour and practising kindness.
