We had the awesome privilege of being some of the first recipients of our good friend Nicole's new books that have just been published. They are books for tween age girls that really help them understand the consequences of their decisions, as well as keep them in touch with their faith.
One of the things I liked so much about these books is that there comes a time were you get to decided as a reader which outcome you want to read about. Did she choose this, or what if it was this? This is a neat feature that allows the reader to make her own decision right there as she reads. Very nicely done Nicole!
If you haven't already been to Nicole's site you can check it out here. To see the Scenarios website where girls can go to chat, learn, share their experiences, and just get some support for decisions that they are currently facing, you can see the scenarios site here.

Here is the press release for these two books:
Uhrichsville, OH—Written specifically for tween girls faced with difficult decisions and lots of peer pressure, the new Scenarios series debuts with Truth or Dare and All That Glitters by Nicole O’Dell in August 2009. Lessons of right and wrong are put to the test when readers use their own decision making abilities in an eye-opening but safe way. Each book follows a character up to the point where she has to make an important, life-changing decision—then it’s the reader’s turn to choose!
In Truth or Dare, Lindsay Martin is faced with a tough choice: Does she give in to peer pressure and make her friends happy or does she do what she knows is right—even if it means losing her friends forever? All That Glitters finds Drew Daniels with popularity and a cute boyfriend—everything she thought she wanted. But now she’s faced with choosing between pleasing her boyfriend and doing what’s right. Tween readers make the choices in these interactive stories and discover how the consequences change Lindsay’s and Drew’s lives. Both books include a contract and prayer at the end to remind the reader of the importance of making godly decisions.
I will be featuring Nicole here at The Fort very soon when you will have the chance to learn much more about her, she is truly an amazing person!
