Lisa Head Tackles the Subject of School Bullying in her New Book


The story of Calbert, an average school boy and how he deals with Ernie, the certified school bully

 Calbert: The Second-Grade Cowboy written by Lisa Head tells the story of an average school boy named Calbert who is fond of playing a cowboy with his buddy Roland during the weekends but is afraid to go to school during weekdays because he always must find a way to face down Ernie, the certified school bully. Ernie makes life unbearable for Calbert in many ways, but he especially enjoys picking on him for being an adopted child. He always makes fun of Calbert for being adopted and says that neither Calbert’s birth mom nor his adoptive mom wanted him and his brothers.
