Don't Call Me Ishmael by Michael Gerard Bauer 7(9) by

The Blurb

growe25 — 2025-09-05 08:35:26 UTC

There’s no easy way to put this, so I’ll say it straight out. It’s time I faced up to the truth. I’m fourteen years old and I have Ishmael Leseur’s Syndrome. There is no cure.

But that won’t stop Ishmael and his intrepid band of misfits from taking on bullies, bugs, babes, the Beatles, debating and the great white whale in the toughest, the weirdest, the most humiliatingly awful – and the best year of their lives.

In Chapter 6, Ishmael continues to reflect on his experiences at St. Daniel’s Boys School. This chapter focuses on the social dynamics at school and particularly on, Barry Bagsley the school bully that makes fun of Ishmael every chance he gets. Barry mocks Ishmael’s name and makes his life difficult, often humiliating him in front of others.

Chapter 18 Quotes

2025-10-07 03:23:06 UTC

As for Barry Bagsley, rumor had it that Brother Jerome had given him the “last warning” speech. In any case, when he finally returned to class, he was as sullen as a caged animal, a bit like the T-rex at the beginning of Jurassic Park, trapped inside that steel enclosure with a zillion volts of electricity zinging through the wires (which was fine by me). The only trouble was, I kept thinking that when you watch a movie like that, you just know that eventually, for some reason or another, someone or something will turn the electricity off.

Even though we had improved from last time, the difference again was Scobie. It was like having Michael Phelps swimming the final leg for you in the under-seven floaties relay. As long as we could keep the opposition vaguely in sight, we knew that Scobie would reel them in and eat them up.

Chapter 27 Quotes

2025-10-07 03:24:03 UTC

Sort of…the tumor, the operation…they’re true. The other thing…not being afraid…Well, it depends on how you look at it. Maybe it wasn’t a scalpel that did it. Maybe…when you’re lying in an operating room and someone is cutting into your brain…and you don’t know whether you’re going to…”

For a few seconds all I could hear was Scobie breathing. When he continued, it was almost in a whisper.

“Well…maybe there’s just so much fear you can have…and in that one moment you use up all the fear you were ever supposed to feel…and it’s the fear that cuts you…and it cuts you so deep that you decide that nothing else is worth being afraid of…and that nothing is going to scare you anymore…because you just won’t let it.”

Chapter 15 describes the new student James, the teacher Miss Tarango, and Ishmael's internal thoughts about the class and Barry Bagsley. Key moments include James carefully arranging his planner and pens and Ishmael's recognition of James as a potential target for Barry.

Chapter 35 Quotes

2025-10-07 03:25:10 UTC

Well, I guess you could say that part of it’s about how power can be used in a good way or a bad way, and you could tie that to things like the power that big companies or politicians or dictators have today, I suppose. And Harry himself faces a lot of problems that I reckon would be relevant to a lot of people—you know, like coping with death and trying to fit in when you’re different…and bullying.”

Ishmeal is a shy but kind boy. But once he stands up for others and finds his group he transforms from a socially anxious teenager into a voice for those who get bullied.

Ishmael is 14 years old. Ishmael has big brown eyes and silky smooth brown hair. He's got small muscles but the smarts of Albert Einstein. He's 5 foot 10 inches and is wildly tall. He is a kind and cooperative and is a good listener. He can be shy and embarrassed when he speaks to new people.
