Riassunto

Meet Scarlett Jones - a third grader who went from bullying victim to victor over her bullies. And how did she do this? By turning her encounters with bullies into a game! Now, she wants to teach you how to play.

"Baffle That Bully!" is a way of maintaining your cool while distracting bullies, throwing them off their game, and putting them in a game where you make the rules. The result: bullies decide for themselves to leave you alone, because it's no longer fun to pick on you.

But the book is about more than overcoming bullying. It's also about being the keeper of your own feelings and not letting other people bring you down, no matter how hard they try. It's about believing in yourself.

"Baffle That Bully!" was written by a family to help other families. Co-written by 9-year-old Chase Anichini, who was the target of emotional bullying for 2 years, and her mother Amy Jones Anichini, "Baffle That Bully!" teaches your child how to stay calm when others are trying their best to upset him/her. Chase's story and characters - some bullying targets and some bullies - are brought to life through the beautiful illustrations of her 12-year-old sister Jordan Anichini.

Scarlett introduces 3 steps to playing "Baffle That Bully!" for your child to follow every single time someone is "mean" to him/her. Then she walks your child through several situations ("The Bully Encounters of Scarlett the Baffler") and explains how she applied the 3 steps to remain calm while throwing the bullies off of their well-rehearsed tactics. Scarlett demonstrates how to successfully Baffle YOUR Bully.

When your child learns how to "Baffle That Bully!", he/she will not only distract the bully from their well-rehearsed tactics but will also gain confidence. That self-confidence and sense of self-esteem could help your child handle just about any unpleasant situation.

L'autore

Chase Anichini is an elementary school student who has so many interests, she can barely find enough hours in her day to fit in everything. At school she love history and science and plahing with her friends. In her free time she studies voice, ballet, jazz, tap, and gymnastics and pursues her passion for musical theatre. Like Scarlett Jones – that character she created for Baffle That Bully! - she often stays up after bedtime with a flashlight reading, writing her next story, or composing a musical; shhh – don’t tell her mom!

Amy Jones Anichini is a speaker, author, and advocate for the bullied, the food-allergic, and the underdog. She is a highly analytical person who delights in solving the puzzles life throws her way and then sharing what she learned with other people. Since having children, she has built her career around the challenges she has encountered and life lessons she has learned as a parent.

Amy holds an MBA in Finance from The University of Chicago Booth School of Business, a BS in Business from The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and the CFA (Chartered Financial Analyst) charter.

Like Scarlett Jones - the heroine of Baffle That Bully! - Amy believes that happiness is a decision and that anyone can achieve great things with a positive mindset.
