If kids read this book they might mistakenly start thinking that bullies can be undercut. Not so.
This one also had a good meaning behind it. No one has to submit to peer pressure, especially when it's being mean to each other. There are alternative paths to take, and those paths may change the way other people think as well. Nice lesson learned.
