A great interactive book to get your kids or students (ages 7 and up) thinking and talking about moral choices.
This is a sequel to the popular first book in the series, If You Had to Choose, What Would You Do?. There are 26 problem stories and the reader is asked what he or she would do in each situation. There are also thought questions at the end of each story which facilitate great discussions about moral choices. Has received excellent reviews!
Excerpt
How important is winning and does it really matter how we win? What do you think determines a person's "worth"--how much money he or she has? Can you have lots of friends and still be lonely? When other people are telling you what to do, how do you decide what is right for you?
These are just some of the thought questions which follow the stories and which get the reader thinking and talking about moral choices.

Gene Bedley, PTA National Educator of the Year
"Sandra Humphrey presents very real moral situations in her new book that prepare kids to make responsible choices, and guess who wins? Kids! Their parents! All of us!"
Philip Bigler, 1998 National Teacher of the Year
"Sandra Humphrey has provided a valuable resource for concerned educators, parents, and students. Through a series of well-developed, interesting, and true-to-life scenarios, Ms. Humphrey poses profound questions involving such issues as peer relationships, academic integrity, and personal responsibility. Each piece will facilitate a lively discussion and will help young people assess the potential conseqences of their actions. When armed with awareness and knowledge, students will be able to make informed, intelligent choices when confronted with the complex dilemmas of our modern society and through wise decisions achieve happiness and success in both their scholastic and personal lives."
Michael Sherer, Editor, Metro Lutheran Newspaper
"I wish I'd had a book like this when I was a young person growing up. These well-crafted short stories, all open-ended, draw young readers into challenging situations with the invitation to write their own endings. One value for young readers is the fact that all of these stories are based on situations that hapen to youngsters everywhere."
