Nine engaging short stories for 9-12 year olds about important life issues. They are designed to support young people by fostering empathy and understanding. The stories carry an important message; that young people are not alone in their thinking, and that anything is possible A Giant Leatherback turtle chokes on a carrier-bag thrown carelessly into the sea at Falmouth, and Hector, the 'gifted' footballer, comes to England from Soweto. Amber nearly loses her best friend because of stealing, and Josh's ADHD causes him problems on Sports Day. These, and more short-stories, explore choices young people have to make around friendships, honesty and differences between us. They are a confirmation that although people may have diverse backgrounds, their feelings are often the same and that if you believe in yourself great things can happen.
