Book Description

Robbie Garcia isn't your ordinary high school student. He can teleport. And in King City, if you've got a superpower, that means you can sign up to be a sidekick, so he does just that. Wanting to become a sidekick (and hopefully a fully-fledged superhero one day) was all Robbie dreamed about. But, like they always say, be careful what you wish for. No sooner than his first day of high school, does the balancing act commence. Making time for his best friend? Finally getting to go out with his crush? Training with his superhero mentor? Not to mention, there's a psychotic villain on the loose and his minion wants to kill Robbie. Yeah, high school can suck. Add superpowers to the mix, and it can be downright deadly.

Now, with Rosie's partner framed for murder, and mobster-like shifters sticking around to make sure he takes the fall, Rosie is working double time in order to clear Miles's name.

Book Description

The numerous anti-bullying programs in schools across the United States have done little to reduce the number of reported bullying instances. One reason for this is that little attention has been paid to the role of the media and popular culture in adolescents' bullying and mean-girl behavior. This book addresses media role models in television, film, picture books, and the Internet in the realm of bullying and relational aggression. It highlights portrayals with unproductive strategies that lead to poor resolutions or no resolution at all. Young viewers may learn ineffective, even dangerous, ways of handling aggressive situations. Victims may feel discouraged when they are unable to handle the situation as easily as in media portrayals. They may also feel their experiences are trivialized by comic portrayals. Entertainment programming, aimed particularly at adolescents, often portray adults as incompetent or uncaring and include mean-spirited teasing. In addition, overuse of the term "bully" and defining all bad behavior as "bullying" may dilute the term and trivialize the problem.
