Julius Greenfield is the new kid at school. Not only did his family move to a new state over the summer, but they enrolled him in public school. You see, Montessori school was all he ever knew so starting at a big public school was scary.
Problems begin for Julius when Jamie Winston, the school bully, picks on Julius for being a small fifth grader. Every day at school there is something new, from name-calling to physical attacks.
To make matters worse, Julius and Jamie are on the same team to perform in the school talent show. Can they learn to accept their differences to win the talent competition, or will their dislike for one another ruin their fifth-grade experience and get them into big trouble?
Bus Stop Buddies is a middle-grade fiction about life lessons such as friendship, acceptance, and inclusion. The cast of characters include:
* Jules Greenfield, an Amerasian fifth grader who must find his footing in a new environment
* Jamie Winston, the bully who comes from a rich family and is raised by an au pair
* Stacey Barringer, a nonbinary, gender-fluid child who is trying to find their way toward acceptance
* Lily Jaxon, a small adoptee from China with a big personality
* Taylor Bridges, a blind teenager who sees more than people give him credit for
* Forest Jonathan, a third grader from the Choctaw Nation, built like a tree but gentle and shy
* Rowan Barr, a third grader who loves the color purple and dinosaurs, and is a walking encyclopedia
* Magdalena Vel痙quez, the bus driver who loves to teach the children Spanish through songs
* Spencer Nash, the fifth grader who is obsessed with his hair and uses humor to avoid trouble
* Rosie, the pocket-size American bully who loves her ball and thinks she's one of the kids

Randomly stumbled upon this book and I am shocked that I haven’t heard about it before. It’s hands down the best story I’ve read in years. People need to read this book. It needs to be turned into a book. This story is just plain awsome. M
This soulful book of personal poetry brought me into the past and into the present---and into my heart.
Read the first book and this 2nd one did not disappoint! Loved every chapter. More please!

Received an Advanced Reader Copy from a friend. I am an avid true crime reader and upon completion I question if the author is credible. The timeline does not add up for his age and the times of his alleged involvement in organized crime. Some of the things in the book he is alleged to have said and done I remember almost word for word from movies I had previously watched. He literally stole a scene from the movie the accountant with Ben Affleck and said that he did it. I did a little research after completing the book and learned that this author was also claiming in 2010 that he was a long time member of the Bloods Gang. That coupled with the above leads me to believe that it is nothing more than fantasy. Do not waste your time or money
