Book Review by Patricia Ann Turner
It is school holiday time and Mitch Morrow's family have just moved to a new home in a new place．Mitch can't stop worrying about what his new school is going to be like．He is not even sure about the neighbours．Next door live the Bull family and they have two children，Di and Bruce．
The older of the two，Bruce，is a large boy，about Mitch's age．Mitch watches him carry big rocks．He looks really strong and unkind．Mitch gives him the name Bruiser（彪形大汉）because he has a black eye．Did he get it in a fight？Mitch imagines all the worst possible things about Bruiser．He is probably the class bully （恶霸）．In his mind Mitch thinks of him as the enemy．
Things seem to get more worring for Mitch．He finds out he will be in the same class as Bruiser．Then on the first day of school he learns that Bruiser is his buddy for the day．
This is a lovely story for young readers to read or listen to．It has a wonderful message for all children about facing their fears-real and imagined．
The pictures in the book catch the worry Mitch feels and make Bruiser really look like a bad guy．
My only complaint is the colour of the printing of the text．Why there are pages of different coloured print I cannot tell．They may create problems for children with poor eyesight．
I give it four stars．
53．Who is the book Watch out for Bruiser for？It's for young readers．
54．What does Mitch imagine Bruce to be？He imagines him to be a bad boy．
55．After reading the book review，do you think the book is worth reading？Why or why not？Yes．Because it tells me how to face the fears．．
