Summary Book 1:

Every kid dreams about what they will be when they grow up.  Jeanie Blair is no different.  She has big dreams of becoming a famous author.  When a contest comes along to help her achieve her dream, she crosses the line and angers some classmates. Will Jeanie be able to achieve her dream and restore her friendships as she embarks on a journey toward compassion?

What people are saying:

Allie Slocum has written an entertaining story with values and lessons every child should be introduced to and reminded of often. A must-read for elementary kids and middle schoolers alike!
- Kevin Wood, English Teacher, Newton Middle School

This is a quick, imaginative, fun, informative educational little read. Words do more than sting; they have power. It hits some deep topics, but in ways children can understand. I intended to read one or two chapters before bed, and wound up reading the entire thing in one go.
- Charity Bishop, Editor for the Prairie Times
