Nicholas and the Wild Ones

How do you deal with a bunch of “wild ones” on your first day at school? Nicholas is faced with a gang of bullies including big Charlie, mean Jake, Wedgie Reggie and, worst of all, their girl leader, Cindy Crocker. But through a combination of artistic talent and inventiveness Nicholas eventually wins the admiration of the wild ones and makes a surprising new friend. A great picture story book about bullying, problem-solving and friendship from multi award-winning author-illustrator Niki Daly.

The bullying theme and its resolution presses all the right buttons for teachers, librarians and parents – and the children they will share this book with.
