In Front of the Whole Class

by Rick Hughes

School is bad enough for Quinn Compton. Lockers are broken into, robbed, and vandalized. It's a place where false rumors are spread, even on washroom walls. Bullies seem to be everywhere, even on YouTube, and some of them are girls It's definitely a place where snitches get stitches. Some of the teachers, like Mr. Tiburon, who never laughs, seem to be even meaner than the kids. Just when it seemed that things couldn't get any worse, Quinn gets an assignment that means he has to speak in front of the whole class. It might be the thing he fears most in life. Luckily, he's got some great people in his corner. There's his best friend, Keenan, always loyal, who laughs at all his jokes and is a great student too. He's got his new tutors, OnTime, who tells jokes and makes sure he's never late, and Vicky, who keeps him organized. She also believes that you have to face your fears. Facing his fears is not going to be easy at this school. There's a lot to be afraid of. Quinn is in for a lot of action and adventure

About the author

Rick Hughes Evangelistic Ministries, Inc. was founded for the purpose of communicating the Word of God to students and administrators in private schools and churches across the United States. This ministry is non-denominational in its thrust and is conducted freely without charge or obligation. No material is sold and no offerings are taken.

Rick communicates clear and concise Biblical principles designed to awaken the conscience of the hearers and remind them of age-old Divine norms and standards communicated through parents and churches. His thrust is to challenge the intellect of those who attended his lectures and teach them the mechanics of victorious daily living. This is done apart from any emotional appeal or public invitations. Rick seeks to stir the emotion through illustration and examples but understands that winners must execute, not emote.

Student Emphasis Weeks are presented to private schools across the United States.
