Joyous achievement

Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago

A real-life story for all youth about challenges and opportunities to achieve with outstanding results from work-ethic, perseverance, dedication, and self-confidence. Should be a 'must-see' for every grammar-school-age student, without exception. Its principles, if implemented, address the challenges of under-performance in too many of our schools because of parents' failures, teachers' challenges to focus on the proper curriculums, and students' lack of respect and discipline.

Book Review - Akeelah and the Bee

Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago

My daughter loved the movie so I was very excited to see it in paperback. She's an avid reader for 9 years old and finished the book within 48 hours. She took it to school and was reading every free moment.
