Editorial Reviews

Editorial Reviews

“Aija Mayrock has accomplished what only a talented writer who is in the target age range of her subject can do: provide a practical survival guide on the subject of bullying which resonates with her peers. I consider The Survival Guide to Bullying essential reading for parents and young people alike. It is an eye-opening hymn to the power of positivity in an increasingly negative world.” Michael Goi, cinematographer of American Horror Story
“Help[s] walk readers through types of bullying, surviving ‘in the trenches,’ self-acceptance, and taking action when necessary. Readers may recognize their own struggles in her emotionally charged verse…and while Mayrock acknowledges that her suggestions won’t instantly solve readers’ bullying problems, she offers a range of ideas (such as embracing hobbies, expanding social circles, and unplugging from the Internet) that may help make the light at the end of the tunnel feel a bit closer.” Publishers Weekly
“Mayrock, a college freshman, draws on her own experiences as a victim of bullying in middle and high school in order to help other teens. Her first-person voice is conversational and encouraging, and she offers practical survival tips (verified by experts), such as the importance of asking for adult help…each chapter is useful as a guide to stand-alone topics, such as coping with cyberbullying and handling fear, making this a good title for young adults to consult in a moment of need.…a ready resource for young people.” School Library Journal
“Practical, moving, and deeply kind.” Kirkus Reviews
