Mim And The Baffling Bully (the Travelling Bookshop, #1): Cbca Notable Book 2022

Mim And The Baffling Bully by Dee White is a warm, adventurous junior fiction story about finding courage in unexpected places — and the small magic of the right book at the right time. Mim Cohen travels with her dad and brother in a roaming bookshop, following their horse Flossy as she leads them to people who need stories most.

When they arrive in a picturesque Dutch village, Mim befriends gentle Willemina, who’s struggling with a relentless school bully, Gerda. Mim is determined to help, but there’s a snag: her dad keeps matching the wrong books to the wrong people. As Mim tries to set things right, she discovers that standing up for someone (and for yourself) can be tricky, brave work.

Perfect for readers who love bookish adventures, friendship stories, and themes of bullying and resilience, especially ages 7–10.
