Elijah And Mr. Sage Stand Up to School Bullies - Paperback

by Daniel D. Smith (Author), Betty Thomas Smith (Author), Faith Daan (Illustrator)

Second grader Elijah is being bullied at school. He befriends a wise owl named Mr. Sage, who helps him overcome his fears. Mr. Sage lives in the woods on the farm owned by Elijah's parents and only speaks to Elijah. Elijah's loyal dog, Bogart, and his pet lamb, Butterfly, also meet Mr. Sage.

The school bullies, Hector and his gang, pick on first and second-graders. Hector was held back a year, making him much larger than his classmates. He and his gang push, tease, and take lunch money from students, especially loners or those who look different, like wearing glasses or being much shorter than most other kids.

How will Elijah escape Hector's bullying?
