Resumen del Editor
Harold dreams of being a hero like his father, a Navy SEAL, but - he is what you might call an easy target. He’s short, he’s almost legally blind, and he’s the new kid in town! When the biggest bully in school smashes Harold’s glasses and he has to get a new pair, something amazing happens.
Suddenly, Harold can see anyone’s greatest fear. Do you know what this means? R-E-V-E-N-G-E. And it has never tasted so sweet.
One by one, Harold is going to make bullies pay. But in the end, what if Harold becomes the villain in the story...instead of the hero?

Historia
When Abbey’s best friend, Kristen, vanishes at the bridge near Sleepy Hollow Cemetery, everyone else is all too quick to accept that Kristen is dead, and rumors fly that her death was no accident. Abbey goes through the motions of mourning her best friend, but privately, she refuses to believe that Kristen is really gone. Then she meets Caspian, the gorgeous and mysterious boy who shows up out of nowhere at Kristen’s funeral, and who keeps reappearing in Abbey’s life. Caspian clearly has secrets of his own, but he’s the only person who makes Abbey feel normal again.

Loads of fun!
It was so much fun to listen to a children’s book. It’s been a while! I enjoyed the story and the morale it teaches. It’s good to stand up to a bully, but watch out that you don’t become a bully in the bully’s place!

A story of the new kid and bullying
IF you have children in the 8-10 age range, this is a great story about bullying. Harold's father died and the mom and Harold move across country. There is some bullying, magic glasses (of course), revenge and a happy ending. a quick listen, 2.5 hours.
Narration was very good.

A Fun Story About Bullying
I had my kids (13,11 & 9 year old) read this one with me. Overall I felt it was a great story about a new kid in school and how he deals with bullying and then being given the power to exact revenge. My kids really enjoyed it as well. The only criticism was we all felt the narrator was a bit monotone at times.

Harold Peabody is the new Junie B. Jones
First, I have to start off by stating that I got this book free of charge in exchange for a review, but as I always state, this does not in any way impact my review. My reviews are always honest and my own.
My little one (and even me) loved this kids book. Its a male version of Junie B. Jones.

Round about lessons on bullying
This was an interesting stray in genres for Whidden. I'm not familiar with O.M. Faye's work but Whidden's usual style is based on a gritty crime series. Having that in mind, I approached this cautiously. I realize the audience is kids 8-10 so I made some preliminary adjustments to my expectations of content. I felt the writing WAS appropriately simplified for a kid audience but there were a few instances were a phrase or vernacular was used that I felt a kid that age just wouldn't get. Again, nothing screamingly obvious though. I've got my critiquer's ears on right now so I'm looking for those kinds of things.
That said, the narrator did a fantastic job with the voices in bringing to life Harold and the wonderful characters in the story. Harold and his mom move across the country to start a new life after his Navy SEAL father passes away. Harold's mother takes them to a town from her childhood so she's familiar with the Old Creole(?) woman nextdoor. Harold isn't the popular outgoing kid he wished he was and has a hard time making friends. After coming to the new school he makes some new friends but also inadvertently becomes the target of the school bullies. Harold must determine how to handle the bullying and ends up crossing some lines along the way learning some tough lessons in the process. The introduction of his new magic glasses give it a bit of a supernatural flavor and its subtle enough that it doesn't feel goofy or preposterous. The story is peppered with a few pets which gives the story some added charm for kids listening.
I've been the unpopular kid who's been bullied from time to time, and I've raised a child who dealt with bullying too so it's a theme that resonates for many of us. You want to feel for Harold and you want to root for him even when he's crossing over to the dark side so to speak but you hope he does the right thing in the end. The glasses and the mysterious legends of the south add a whimsy to the story that's relevant to the intended audience.
While the story is definitely relevant to grammar school kids, some of the vocabulary and dialogue doesn't always emulate how kids would talk or be talked to at that age so I'm curious how a grade school child might receive the story.
The moral of the story is obvious but the point isn't driven home in a finger-waggy kind of way. It's a nice way to say, you can become a bully without even intending to....always be mindful to how you treat others. Revenge is never a means to an end.
