This series is dedicated to the students who are determined to make something of their lives. It was written for those who acquire a few bad habits, stumble at times, but have what it takes to turn things around.

Each book has 18 full-page cartoons, 18 "something-to-think abouts," and 18 brief commentaries with discussion points and activities. All which should help you formulate some memorable character lessons and activities for students in grades 3-8. [7” x 8.5”...40 pages each]

[The six books described below are available now. Other books in the series are in the works to be published.]
