This is one of the best books for young people I have ever read. It's very inspirational and motivating. You can change your community - or the world! This book empowers young people to dream and act.
I came across this book and really like it. It's always a pleasure for me to read about kids making a difference.Kids need to be encouraged as much as possible and this book does it for me.
I am so glad I purchased this book! I bought this book for my 12 year old son. At first glance he moved it to the side a few times, but then I had him start reading it for his nightly required silent reading homework. He was amazed at the stories and didn't want to put it down. Sometimes its hard to make a really good impression on a pre-teen, but this book grabbed his attention and got him thinking:)
I liked this book because it was interesting and had lots of facts. I bought this book for one of my classes in school and read it in two days. It was sad in some parts of it because some of the kids died but they did what they were supposed to do on earth and went to heaven. All together this was a great book.
The book "Kids with Couage was heart warming story about a few kids and sad over a few other kids.
