The Boy Who Was Afraid to go Home

About the Book

Just moving to the big city, attending a new school, and being in the third grade can be a challenging experience. The first thing you feel you need is a friend to play and talk with. What happens when your best friend finds a jewel that belongs to your favorite teacher, and he asks you to keep it for him and to promise him that you will not tell anyone? Well, that´s what happened to Terrell in "The Boy Who Was Afraid To Go Home." Terrell has to choose between his friendship with Bryan and holding on to a very valuable jewel, or tell the truth to has favorite teacher, Mrs. Brown, to whom the jewel belongs. The guilt is so heavy until Terrell is afraid to go home and wanders off and gets lost without realizing it. While lost, Terrell journeys down three streets: Wisdom, Truth, and Courage. Here is where Terrell meets three people and learns three valuable lessons that will change his life forever. This is a book that I feel that every child should read, and will want to read over and over again, and treasure for years to come.
