20 tough choices. Three different perspectives. What would YOU do?

What would you do if telling the truth meant getting your whole class in trouble? What if your best friend was left out, a teammate bent the rules, or doing the right thing meant giving up something you really wanted?

In The Good-Bad Book: 20 Hard Dilemmas with No Easy Answers, readers join three friends—Elle, C.T., and Andre—as they navigate the tricky choices that come with growing up. From friendship conflicts and school competitions to honesty, fairness, and responsibility, each dilemma puts these relatable characters in situations where doing the right thing isn't always obvious.

Meet Elle, who trusts her instincts and speaks her mind; C.T., who relies on facts and careful thinking; and Andre, who looks for compromise and tries to bring people together. As their different personalities collide, readers are invited to consider competing perspectives, weigh the consequences, and decide what they would do.

Because growing up isn't about always knowing what to do. It's about learning to ask better questions, make thoughtful choices, and become the person you want to be.
