The bestselling author ofThe O'Reilly Factor, The No Spin Zone, and Who's Looking Out for You? talks straight to kids this time. He is as demanding, direct, and wry asever--but he's also more revealing too, sharing candid snapshots of his own childhood throughout.

Bill O'Reilly, a former schoolteacher, now an award-winning broadcast news journalist, husband, and father of two, joins forces with an experienced educator to bring you, America's youth, a code of ethics by which to live.In this latest book, Bill takes to task bullies, cheaters, advertisers who target you irresponsibly, and parents who fight for their children to win undeserved honors instead of earning them on their own merit.

He lays bare the unvarnished truths about sex, money, smoking, drugs, alcohol, and friends. What he has to say about these issues may very well surprise you. He offers coping devices for those enduring a divorce, struggling with teacher, parent, or sibling relationships, and planning their futures. He also shares wisdom on such subjects as death, politics, and God.

Whether you take the tests he's provided, take the advice he doles out, or just take a cue from the personal stories he shares, you're bound to make smarter choices in your life, and that's all Bill asks for.

Their holiday spirit was quickly dampened, however, when they learned that the irascible Major did not like children. Also, Leonie, Ian, and Paul noticed suspicious men and mysterious happenings at Mappins.

While helping Mr. Meredith restore the run-down estate, the children found themselves caught in the center of the mystery. All their hard work had been willfully and maliciously destroyed. This cowardly attack, instead of defeating the children, intensified their efforts on behalf of Mappins.
How the Merediths trap the culprit and solve the mystery provides an exciting story filled with suspense as well as fine family feeling.
