More Bullies in More Books by C. J. Bott, a retired high school English teacher, is designed to help generate discussions about bullying.  The author provides annotations and activities for over 350 books related to bullying, and the resource was reviewed positively in the October 2009 issue of School Libary Journal and August 2009's Voya.
