Bookroo's summary

Benny the bull shark rules the ocean with intimidation, but his bullying leaves him friendless. When Janice the jellyfish suggests Friend School, Benny faces a challenge: learning the true meaning of friendship. As he navigates the tricky waters of kindness and empathy, Benny must decide if he can change his ways. Will he transform from a feared bully to a beloved friend, or will his old habits sink him? Dive into Benny's journey to discover if he can truly embrace the rules of friendship and find his place among the sea creatures.

From the publisher

Benny the bull shark is a big bully. Every day he makes the other sea creatures tremble and shake with his bossy ways. Benny even tries to bully his way to friendship–but no one wants to be friends with a bully! Then Janice the jellyfish tells Benny about Friend School, where he can learn the rules of friendship. He decides to try it out. Friend School is harder than it looks, though, especially for a bully like him! Will Benny finally learn what it takes to be a true friend?
