Title: RISE Up! Ordinary Kids with Extraordinary Stories

Author: Amanda Li

Recommended Age: 9+ 

What this book is about: 29 amazing children tell 29 superbly different stories on how they have conquered their dreams!! Each story is true and unbelievable, inspiring me to be someone every day! These life stories are about Mountain climbing, surviving, environment conservation, becoming change-agents, and doing something out-of -the box just by children between 11-16 years old! Imagine, that! After each story, there is a column of interesting facts and tips on how to do that adventure! The children in this story are from different parts of the world which was also very fascinating for me. A story that I would like to bring to your attention is'The Shocking Story of Bethany Hamilton, USA'. I particularly liked this story because Bethany did not give up on her dreams. Even though, a huge tiger shark had bitten her left arm right from the stump, she still recovered in a month and got back to surfing! She is a true role model for me as she teaches me that even if I fail, I need to jump back up and Try and Try until I succeed!

Note for MOMMIES: This book is a must-read for children and their mommies!! It helps mummas find their child's true strength and motivate them to achieve their goals! An excellent bed-time story, promise me to read 1 page to your child every day from this book.
