Jack may only be seven years old, but he's about to learn some big lessons about the importance of honesty, responsibility, and self-esteem.
Come along with Jack as he works to learn something new. Roller-skating looks like a lot of fun, but Jack can't stop falling down. He begins to get discouraged about his skills. Will he ever be able to skate? His dad tells him not to give up, but Jack hates getting hurt. It will take some advice from a very unlikely source to give Jack the inspiration to get back up and try again.
This is just the first of many adventures Jack and his sister, Tina, have throughout this rollicking tale. Along the way, Jack will get in a fight with his best friend, accidentally break his parents' favorite vase, go for a dangerous bicycle ride, take a special field trip, and more. Each challenging situation teaches Jack an important lesson about how to handle obstacles with clarity and calmness. With the advice of his wise parents, teacher, and sister, Jack now knows exactly what to do! Author Richa Mehta hopes that you will take the same lessons to heart and learn from Jack's journey.
