Scars is a compelling story about making the right decision,
consequences, forgiveness, and part of Reflections Publishing's
"Kids Helping Kids Through Books" series. Scars is written and
illustrated by a parent/child team and eloquently describes how
decisions that we make in our childhood can sometimes haunt us the
rest of our life. By connecting with children through a fiction
story written and illustrated by kids just like them, it simply
provides a start for the healing process. Because true healing
requires a broad focus on emotional, educational, social, and even
spiritual needs, this series also provides a non-fiction section
for children (and parents) with the tools they need to navigate
through these situations. Specifically, at the back of each book in
this series, readers will find commentaries for dealing with
difficult situations from experts in various fields (e.g., child
psychologists, educators, therapists, and religious scholars). We
believe this series will provide children with valuable tools to
assist them in dealing with many real-life challenges. Description
of Scars: Will is buddies with all the kids in the neighborhood.
When he and his group of friends allow a thirteen-year-old to
become their power-hungry leader, there is trouble. The leader
mobilizes the boys to become a battle-ready group that will ambush
the leader's arch enemy, Allen. For Will, this is terrible news.
Allen showed Will great kindness when Will first moved into the
neighborhood, even taking him on an fun-filled adventure. How will
he get out of fighting and hurting Allen without incurring the
wrath of all his friends and their leader? Reviews: "Everyone
struggles with peer pressure to conform to the ideas, actions and
speech of others. As a current middle school teacher, I look for
books that tackle the issues my students are experiencing since
very often peer pressure robs them of their ability to make their
own decisions. The book Scars tells the story of a young boy who
was influenced by his friends and later in his life comes face to
face with the results of his choices. I highly recommend this book
along with the additional resources in the book to engage students
in the discussion of peer pressure." - Jan Menconi, Educator and
school administrator "A unique series for children, by children."
-Booklist "Scars is an easy to read book demonstrating the internal
conflict experienced by a person feeling pressured to 'conform' by
making a decision just to go along with the group even though he
believed the decision was a bad one. There are some decisions we
make where we don't get second chances and though we may be
forgiven, we can never undo what's been done. Scars confronts these
issues in a very genuine, well written story." -Dr. Lewis Ribner,
Clinical Psychologist
