I have spent twenty-eight years as an educator having served as both a principal and a classroom teacher from pre-school level through post-graduate. Finally, at the start of the 2020/2021 school year, I decided to return to where it all began, the fifth grade classroom. Much has changed since I was a fifth grade teacher twenty-eight years ago, but I found there was something of value I could add. This is how the idea for my book series was born. It will peak the interest of children and empower critical thinking. It also creates cross-curricular teaching opportunities in the areas of History, Language Arts, Math, and Religion/Civics. It is a beloved family novel written in the style of Judy Blume and John Hughes. Read. Learn. Grow.
