Hot Issues, Cool Choices

	Did you know that there are kids out there who don't even want to get out of bed in the morning because they know what going to school means for them? - Being teased and taunted ... - Being excluded and rejected ... - Being afraid that you re going to be assaulted and possibly hurt... - Sometimes it can even mean that you just can t hang in there any longer, so you give up and take your own life. If you are one of the cool kids at school, this book is for you. But if you re not one of the cool kids, this book is especially for you. Emerson Elementary isn't a real school, but it could be your elementary school. And the students at Emerson aren t real kids, but the problems they face are real, and so are the choices they make. The Golden Rule is an old rule, but it's still a good rule to live by, and after reading this book, you may just possibly become a kinder, more compassionate human being, someone who treats others the way you want them to treat you. So come along and join the students at Emerson Elementary and help them make some cool choices!	2009 Reader's Favorite Gold Seal Recipient 2008 Mom’s Choice Gold Award Recipient Young Voices Foundation 2009 Silver Award for Juvenile-Young Adult Non-Fiction.

"Keepin' It Real is sassy and sensitive. It's an honest look at a young girl's struggles-- and insights-- as she faces puberty and searches for faith. "
Mary Lou Carney, Editor-in-Chief, Guideposts for Teens

"What's really cool about 13-year old Leslie, who wrote every single letter in this book, is how she figured out that you can talk to God like a friend, and then how she went ahead and did it. Any young person who wants to feel closer to God (but who wonders what the "right language" is supposed to be) should read this wonderful year-long diary. Before you know it, you'll be wanting to start writing your own set of letters to God."
Mike Sherer Editor, Metro Lutheran Newspaper, Minneapolis, Minnesota

"Keepin' It Real will help young people all over the world love themselves and God--and have light and hope in this wild, confusing world."
Troy and Genie Nilsson Christian Songwriters
