nbsp;I like that Geraldine solved a problem on her own and with help from others. I like the story because it is easy to understand and it is helpful for kids to read who might be dealing with bullies or know of someone who is. -- Kids' BookBuzz
nbsp;Geraldine is a smart kid who uses her STEM/STEAM skills to solve problems, and her idea to stand up against a bully by showing him what other kids see is a smart way to turn the tables. She also encourages her friends to stand together, forming a united front against the bully. -- Mom Read It
