Jon Bozak.
A tough fifth-grade year made Marc feel "dumb" (especially in math) and weak ("I can do ZERO pull-ups!"); worst of all, he's been targeted by the school bully. All this changes when Uncle Jake, a Navy SEAL, teaches Marc about discipline, goals, and hard work via his "Warrior Code." Retired SEAL officer Willink's preachy story, illustrated with bland line drawings, nevertheless offers useful insight on bullies and self-betterment.
