A note to parents and other adults Those tween years of no longer a child and not quite an adult can be challenging, especially for middle school kids. Not only are they struggling with physical changes, but bullying, failure, and frustration can become part of their everyday life. Without the skills or the language to navigate this confusing time, they can become lost. Excelsior explores how three students learn about themselves, how to communicate, and overcome the obstacles to achieve their dreams. The author skillfully weaves a story of overcoming into the lives of these three students. He has used his own life, thoughts, and feelings to relate to and encourage tweens to become the best versions of themselves and believe they can achieve their goals. Parents and other adults will find the book very useful as a springboard into conversations about communication and problem-solving. The discussions will help improve a tween's self-esteem and confidence while guiding their character and beliefs, empowering them to succeed in their lives. Buy Excelsior, read it together and start talking. It will change both of your lives.
