I, Bully is a middle grade novel about cyber bullying. What makes the story unique is that it is told from the perspectives of both the bully and his victim, a young girl. The two main characters - the victim, Hannah, and the bully, Eric - learn from each other in ways they could never have imagined. Hannah is a typical young girl in eighth grade. She's completely focused on friends and feels her family doesn't understand. Hannah also feels invisible, and her perception is that her older sister gets all the attention. It's a good middle-class family but struggling. Eric is also in eighth grade, but his family is dysfunctional. Dad drinks, and Mom is barely keeping it together. Eric is filled with rage and takes it out on everyone. When Hannah runs away, Eric realizes what has happened and tries to find her. Lost in the woods, a bear, a cougar, and a riotous raven teach them lessons about bullying and about being a victim. One teacher and his friend, a Native American named Stands Alone, help interpret the lessons that the forest has taught the two protagonists. In this hero's journey, Hannah learns why she is always a victim, and Eric discovers why he bullies, and both learn a new way.
