Summary
Ebony, Eris, and Emani Robertson have been through so much more than most high school freshmen. When they were younger, they survived a school shooting that killed their friend and left their oldest sister unable to speak. After giving homeschooling a try, they enroll in a promising new academy, hoping for the best.The Robertsons soon discover, however, that their new classmates are anything but kind. A mysterious group of bullies known as the Dimes rules the hallways and spreads fear everywhere they go. All three sisters end up being targets of the gang and have to find a way to defend themselves.The triplets couldn’t be more different, but their loyalty to each other and to their school never fails. Along with diverse group of friends, the Robertsons do everything they can to uncover the identity of the Dimes and restore order to the school.As if their lives weren’t complicated enough, they also get sucked in to a much bigger game—discovering who was responsible for the attack on their old school. Can they bring down the Dimes and bring the murderer to justice, all while trying to make it through ninth grade?
Praise for BATTLE OF THE BULLIES
“Bullying is a topic that needs to continue to be discussed, and I’m so happy
to see these types of stories being written. This was an interesting mix of
high school drama, bullying, and sisterly relationships.”― She Just
Loves Books
“As someone who dealt with many bullies in school, I was a little nervous about
reading this, but knew I needed to. I honestly wish I'd been able to read this
book back then. It might be a young adult book, but it has a depth and
complexity to it that I wasn't expecting. Bullies, racism, friendship, love,
and family populate this story. I highly recommend this to any teens struggling
with bullies and to anyone who has dealt with them in the past.” ―Goodreads
Review
“Tackling violence in schools is a challenge, but Battle of the Bullies does so
with strong, optimistic characters that embrace life a refuse to take a back
seat in conflict.” ―A Dream Within A Dream

Top 5 Movies by Fenyx Blue
Authors love to eat popcorn and chill, too.
5. Romance: Jason’s Lyric
because of the complicated love story. Battle of The Bullies has a triangle when it comes to love that is quite complex. Jason’s lyric’s love story was complicated by the environment that the characters lived in. It proved that the best love stories may be roses now, but they once had thorns.
4. Activism: The Hate You Give
because who doesn’t love a movie based on a book that is unafraid to deal with controversial topics. Battle of The Bullies covers bullying of all forms and tries to encourage students to be leaders, advocates, and upstanders in their own schools while simply telling a tale about sisters surviving high school.
3. Drama: The Five Heartbeats
because sometimes real-life struggles make for great storytelling. Each character in Battle of the Bullies has challenges that must be overcome. The reader gets to witness the growth of Emani, Eris, and Ebony Robertson. Their three heartbeats will connect with your heart.
2. Girl Power: Hidden Figures
because girls can be anything that they choose to be. Battle of The Bullies has integral male characters, but the females are certainly the lead. The Robertson triplets are each unique, but they have a strong sisterly bond and are unstoppable when they unite for a cause.
1. Remember The Titans
sparked needed conversations and taught us that young people are powerful. Battle of The Bullies is meant to be a tool to ignite deep discussions among targets, bullies, upstanders and bystanders. The minor characters have to make difficult decisions about who they will be in a world that allows people to use anonymity to hurt others. As we remember the titans, I hope people will also remember the Robertsons.
