Edición en Inglés
When Stevie comes off much worse than second-best in a playground encounter with the kid they call Nightmare, his days, nights and everything else are turned upside down.
Hiding in the library is a temporary fix, until unusual visitors begin giving him advice in his dreams. He discovers there might just be a way to take back control of his life and even act half normal with the prettiest girl in school.
Written for ages 11 to 15, (school Years 5 to 9), A bully named Nightmare! If you can't beat 'em, join forces! draws on themes such as mindfulness, self-defence, taking control, collaboration, resilience and the support of family and friends to equip young people to take back their lives in the context of being bullied.
Danny Graham is a registered psychologist and schoolteacher. He has more than 30 years experience providing counselling and psychological support services to children and teens in Australia and overseas.
Comprehensive classroom resource
Danny Graham's first novel for tweens to early teens comes with a comprehensive study guide to support use in the classroom.
The guide has 150 pages of activities that help teachers, students and parents learn and discuss responses to bullying, its causes and mental health issues such as anxiety and shame.
Endorsements
My Year 5 class has just finished our venture into the world of Stevie. The impact that this text had on my vivacious pre-teen class was incredible. As a teacher of Year 5 and 6 students for 25 years, I can honestly say that this book is a game changer. My class devoured it, they begged for more. The secret is the way the author has an innate ability to make the context so familiar that the kids feel like they are actually in the story. We read the final chapters with me as the reader in tears. It is that moving, so thought-provoking. The teaching guide was unlike any other. As the author is a teacher as well, his knowledge of curriculum and pedagogy shines through. A bully named Nightmare! will take prime position in my teaching program
Renee O'Dwyer, Year Five Classroom Teacher
A very inspiring and engaging book to help young people better understand their emotions when dealing with bullying, anxiety, and depression. The story provides tools, techniques, and insights to overcome them. I highly recommend this book to anyone regardless of their age and also to anyone training Jiujitsu.
Professor Gustavo Pinto, 5th Degree Black Belt - Gracie Barra
Brilliant! That's the word I would use to describe A bully named Nightmare! Let me put it another way: it's really, really awesome and I know it will be well received by young readers and many teachers—I hope it is used as a class novel everywhere. In its pages, we follow the exciting story of Stevie but also can feel safe in learning how to find support if needed. I cannot speak highly enough of Danny and his book.
Vicki Lloyd, teacher/registered psychologist
Danny Graham has drawn on his considerable experience as a psychologist and teacher to produce a page-turner that tweens and teens will relate to and engage with. He combines psychology, history, martial arts and a dollop of mysticism—it's a wonderful read and accurately describes what happens emotionally and behaviourally to children who experience bullying. It makes this a very authentic novel and a valuable resource for parents and schools.
Lisa Freeman, clinical psychologist and mother of two.
