Have you ever gotten bullied so bad that it made you cry?  Have you ever been bullied by…..  MEAN JEAN THE RECESS QUEEN?  If you ever crossed her, she would “push you, smoosh you, lollapaloosh you!  Hammer you slammer you, kitz and kajammer you!” 

In The Recess Queen, by Alexis O’Neill, Mean Jean was sooooooooo mean to other kids.  She would hurt them so bad the kids would bleed! 

What I think about the book is …  I think Mean Jean the Recess Queen likes to bully.  Mean Jean the Recess Queen likes to bully because she’s a cruel, mean, nasty, bad, bad girl.  She pushes and smooshes and lollapallooshes hammer and slammer and kitz and kajammer. I think the story is really about friendship because Katie Sue was brave enough to play with Mean Jean and they turn out to be friends.  Katie Sue is nice.
