From the author of The Thought That Counts comes a new collection of
short stories for children. Each tale involves a situation in which
children are likely to find themselves at some time, and helps to make
clear the often blurred division between what is right and what is not,
and shows how problems can be resolved. Dilemmas include the problems of
loyalty and how to act when friendship is challenged, the powers of
co-operation in the face of adversity, and learning to see the human
behind a disability. These stories help children to establish positive
outcomes to difficult situations, and can help carers understand some of
the problems being faced by children today. Attractive line drawings
enhance all the stories which are suitable for reading aloud as well as
alone, whilst the vocabulary makes the book accessible to every reader
of upper junior level.
