Book 2

The appeal of graphic novels and martial arts combine in the Team Taekwondo series-a collaboration between Rodale Kids and ATA International. Following a group of young martial arts students as they discover the life-enriching principles of taekwondo, the stories offer humor and insight into the real-world problems children face.

In this newest installment, the ATA Team Taekwondo dojo is busy preparing for Buddy Day. Normally, bringing a buddy to class would be easy for class clown Baeoh. But with a new bully in his life who won't leave him alone, Baeoh doesn't feel much like a buddy. Worse yet, he may be turning into a bully himself. Following the first in the series, Baeoh and the Bully is both an important lesson and an eye-catching page-turner, leaving readers ready for the next one.
