Sad No More 

Have you ever been teased, bullied, or just had a plain old bad day at school? Or anywhere else for that matter? Well, Jacob has, and he’s had enough! You see, Jacob has always had an amazing imagination, even as a kid. Wait! He is a kid! A very clever ten-year-old kid, in fact, who discovers how to harness his imagination to help him escape from the awkward messes and predicaments that kids find themselves in from time to time. Jacob’s imagination transports him to magical, beautiful, and sometimes downright scary lands, in which he meets many wonderful and unusual creatures that help him to battle his sadness and frustration. Along the way, he learns many valuable lessons, some from the characters, and some from the author himself in the form of magical parenthesis. (So you won’t be alone to fend for yourself in these weird and foreign lands, your author will keep you company!) Sad No More is a wonderful collection of stories and adventures that will not only entertain and bewilder the young mind, but will also expand one’s vocabulary and broaden one’s horizons, so he or she can be the coolest and smartest kid on the block! Remember, kids! There are no boundaries to the imagination, and if it is strong enough, you will be unstoppable!
