    About this ebook

    With a bit of reluctance, Jeffrey listens to his little sister, Jasmine, trying predicament as she gives an account of what happened to her. Jasmine describes her heart rendering incident: losing her grandmother's pearl necklace which is her secret that she is hiding from her parents. Jeffrey identifies with the feeling of "messing up" gets caught up in his sister's anguish and despair. He blurts out "ouch" as an emotional release to his sister situation. At first the predicament seems as easy as 1-2-3. Jeffrey probes to find answers to resolve Jasmine's questions that could have been overlooked. Using deductive reasoning proves to be helpful, but it does not reveal enough clues for solving the problem. Can a cover up be an alternative to his sister's predicament? Who will take the blame if the cover up is exposed? Will Jeffrey take the blame for Jasmine?

    Based on his past history of squandering his allowance, can Jeffrey get his parent's approval of starting his own business? Will his business aid him in making enough profit to purchase his desired treasure: that special watch?

    Jeffrey and Jasmine have dilemmas. They form an alliance to solve their problems to avert getting into hot water with their parents. Discover how Jeffrey and Jasmine maneuver to handle the turning point that is unavoidable. Will the turning point lead to an unexpected surprise?

      ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

      I am most grateful to the Heavenly Father through Jesus Christ that this writing project has been completed.

      Thanks to Evelyn Moore and Gwendolyn Robinson, colleagues, for serving as a sounding board during the inception of this project. I am indebted to Juene Parker and Sandra Fitzgerald, colleagues for their insightful inputs. Melinda Brown, Verdell Thompson and Lynette Byrom have offered encouragement and wisdom to keep the project moving. Thanks to my family members: my nephew, Lester, cousin, Alvin, sister, Margaret, sister-in-law, Leslie, and my brother, Lester---who did readings---offered their comments.

      Dr. John Green's (Bos) and Ralph Dines' fascination with children's literature offered invaluable suggestions.

      More importantly, thanks to the late Ronald Hill for his untiring, relentless support to the project completion. Karen and Keith McKenzie cheered me on. Benjamin Brookman shared his computer expertise. Lisa, my cousin, shared her viewpoint for embracing the need to express those characteristics: the positive driving forces in one's life as good.

      The editor, Cassandra Franklin-Barbajosa, has been supportive and has brought a rich perspective to this project.

      Thanks to the constant prayers of Theodora Thompson, LaVern Finks, Carmen Robinson, Wendell Watkins, Robert Henry, Gail Murray, Dorothy and Thaddeus Moore, Magdalene Fitzgerald and family, and countless others who helped to sustain me during this writing.

Many families move into the town, attracted by the Random Acts of Kindness Club, the Greatest Grandma Pageant, and the much-anticipated Pet Festival, featuring a melodious singing frog quartet, a daring twosome of goldfish that jump
