About the Book

Get ready to embark upon one of the most adventurous stories told from the viewpoint of a little boy by the name of Aiden. Whisked away in the mind of Aiden, the reader is confronted with some prevailing realities that are embedded within allegoric allusions, but reminiscent of the lives of real people, living real life, every day. The whimsical becomes the powerful voice of the voiceless, and through this genre of writing, gives that voice meaning and purpose. With the use of imaginative characterization and dialogue, the author invites the reader into a world many dare not explore. This short story is just one of many of Dr. Benders' archives of writings that probe at social problems with the purpose of stimulating dialogue to find meaningful solutions. As Founder & CEO of Getting Results, our educational division strives to find solutions that "get real results" for children. Dr. Benders and I developed a curriculum that extends the elements of the "Big Giant Monster" into a full analysis designed to build critical thinking skills for each student reader. As students engage in this book, they will uncover not only their love for reading and the adventures within this short story, but they will also discover their ability to critically think about the deeper issues the author portrays and how they influence race, family, and society. I believe this book will have an impact on students of all ages as teachers and parents use it as a springboard for exploring the issues that can no longer go unanswered. Jerome E. Taylor, Ed.D., Editor Founder & CEO of Getting Results Newtonville, New Jersey
