Before you begin

Everything you need is here.

You do not need the book. Each chapter gives you the story information, questions and explanations needed to complete the journey.

Some themes in this story concern situations that happen in real life. You will never be asked to tell the class about something that has happened to you, your family or somebody you know.

You can answer, pass, take a break or ask to speak privately to an adult.
