The Bailey Game - Review

Plot: It is about a boy named Michael Bailey who has a lot of trouble at school and then he is never seen again. But then a new girl arrives and the bullying starts again. Does it get out of hand like it did the last time or will it stop before it gets really serious? Somebody really needs to do something about it, but can they? Highlights: My favourite character is Alex becuase she is kind to the new girl and really sticks up for her. Jasmine, Year 7, Wallingford

The Bailey Game - Review

Plot: Michael Bailey suffered harsh bullying but that was one year ago and someone new is in town! Setting: This is set in a primary school. Hightlight: This book is brilliant how the author sets the mysterious feeling of what happened to Michael Bailey and how she puts you right in the middle of the situation. Weaknesses: This book is great! But it takes a long time until you can find out the mystery. It is fantastic when you find out the end, so I recommend this book to someone who likes Scooby Doo or Inspector Morse. Kit, Year 7, Wallingford

The Bailey Game - Review

Plot: It's about a boy who gets bullied terribly by the Bridge Boys. That was a long time ago though. A new girl comes from Australia. She finds it hard to settle in. Will Alex help her? Highlights: Alex is my favourite character because she is kind and friendly. My favourite part of the book is when we find out what happens to Bailey. Weaknesses: I think the ending could be stronger. This book is aimed at about 10-13 year olds and I think the book is fantastic! Amber, Year 7, Wallingford

The boy who nobody knew

A game. it started as a game. When a boy with the surname 'Bailey' arrived, he was different. A class of children picked up on this, and so was born, the Bailey game. A game of predudice. This game almost meant the end to the boys life. When he moved on, all settled.Until......a new girl starts. Now, History is repeating itself, and it is up to one girl to save her new friend from the terrible fate of Robert Bailey, as a whole class of children, powered by predudice start the game again...
