My students need books on how to stop bullying. I would like a class set (30) of Paul Langan's, "The Bully," to read as a class as well as 20 other individual novels on the subject.

My Students
I didn't think we had a bullying problem in my classes until today. I was reading a student's journal and he mentioned that students bully him. This has been going on for years but I had absolutely no idea that this student was a victim. I need to educate my students and myself now!
My students come from urban, suburban, and rural areas.
Students filter in from three different elementary schools. We have students of all ability ranges, races, and ethnic groups. However, I feel that all students could benefit from reading novels about bullying. In the past, I have read "The Bully" and "Payback" with my classes. These novels really opened up the discussion about bullying. I would like to teach the novel and let students experience what it feels like to be the "victim" themselves.
My Project
I am requesting a class set of novels of "The Bully" and individual novels and books on the subject of bullying. I want to give some students the opportunity to extend their learning by reading the novels. Then, we can all come together as a class with a starting point for discussing this very important topic. One child bullied is too many!
Please help my students read about and discuss the important topic of bullying.
Both victims and the bullies themselves need to know how to stop this. Using both non-fiction and fiction, I feel that we will at least be able to have a starting point for stopping bullying.
