Secret Identity by Wendelin Van Draanen
4.0
I remember eating this book up as a kid, but as an adult cleaning out my old bookshelf, I have a bit more trouble taking vindictive pleasure from the downfall of a fifth-grader. I think the messaging got a bit straighter at the end, and Shredderman became a force for justice instead of vengeance. Still, heroes show mercy, and I wish book one had emphasized more of that.
But I also remember reading it, so I'm sure that kids are smart enough not to let their anti-bullying strategy to be influenced by this fun power-trip of a book.
