The Dream Series
Fiction: From Motocross to Microphones

The books take place in school hallways, on football fields, in midair at the neighborhood skate park, in the Iowa cornfields, on the back of a dirt bike, in front of a computer screen, in center field at the ballpark, in the barrel of a wave in the Pacific Ocean, on the top of the highest mountain in Wyoming, on stage in front of 50,000 people, on a first date, staring at a blank canvas, on the 18th green, in the boxing ring, on the ice, on the pitcher’s mound, with four seconds left on the clock at half court, and anywhere else kids dream big dreams.

Character education themes are woven throughout every Dream Series book: bullyin, anger-management, alcohol, obesity, perseverance, loyalty, self-confidence, consequences, peer pressure, life transitions, etc. Students read about a peer role model facing difficult circumstances, and then participate in class discussions and writing opportunities with the help of the Teacher’s Guide. Reading comprehension and writing exercises are located inside each book.

Books may be purchased individually or as the series. Individual titles may be purchased in quantities of one or six.
