As a person who was bullied in junior high, these stories were not shockers. However, they were very poignant and moving and remind us that bullying is far too common in our society. Hearing the story of how some of my favorite authors were bullied was a bit shocking. The resources in the back of...
I love that this anthology exists, but I'm surprised it's taken this long. I'm surprised that bullying still exists, that it still hurts, that it still causes those scars that we can and can't see. Every classroom in the world deserves a copy of this book.Better yet, every kid deserves a copy of thi...
Also appears on The YA Kitten.Bullying has always been a serious issue, but it has become even more serious in the past few years. The suicides of gay teens that led to the It Gets Better campaign gained an unearthly amount of publicity, and teen suicide cases gain attention anyway because of the tr...
A MUST read for everyone whose every been the victim of a bully or worn the mask of one. Thank you to the authors who were brave enough to share their stories. While I don't think bullying will ever completely go away, as long as there are broken and wounded human beings walking this earth, I do t...

The stories I tried to read seemed like romance trash style fan fiction. Not my thing... I'm a geek but I like a story to have talent and depth not just shout outs. Maybe I didn't give all the stories a chance but it didn't seem worth my time to.
I read this in a day.This was a nice collection of short stories relating to all things relating to geeks. But not all things, because the subjects of geekdom encompass so many subjects that it would be impossible to create a definitive collection on such a thing.Regardless, this was a pleasant read...
I have seen all the Lord of the Rings movies. I’ll even admit to having watched them more than once. I have read Harry Potter. But if we’re talking fantasy, I am very INTO David Eddings. Do these facts make me a geek? Erm, reading the stories in Geektastic seem to throw support toward an affirmative...
