I believe that a child should be both inspired and taught at the same time. Teaching what is fiction and what is fact is necessary to the understanding of an adolescent. The stories I have written are, for the main part, about a struggle between man, beast, and nature. The fact and comprehension questions will help the adolescent to understand and explore more about the world he lives in. The critical questions at the end will enhance the reader's problem solving skills and the important part he plays in creating a better and more balanced world.
