(3) 1-3 Illustrated by Dan Yaccarino. Fifth-grader Alex signs up for karate lessons in order to protect himself from the new boy at school, whose large size has Alex convinced he's a bully. In a well-crafted chapter book with just the right amount of humor and suspense, Myers tells a satisfying story about making friends with the (perceived) enemy. Yaccarino's illustrations match the light tone and help break up the text for young readers.
