According to social worker Zak Mucha, it isn’t enough to tell bullies to stop or victims that it will get better.

Mucha works on Chicago’s North Side where he’s spent a lot of time working with people who have been bullied. Now, he’s co-authored a graphic novel on the subject called “Heart Transplant.” Eight Forty-Eight spoke to Mucha about the new novel and the recent chatter surrounding bullying.

For more on the book and bullying, you can catch Zak in-person Wednesday evening at The Book Cellar in Chicago’s Lincoln Square neighborhood.
