Wishful Thinking - Daniel's Tale: A Cautionary Tale for Young Readers About Responsibility and The Power of Choice
13-year-old Daniel Fisher has high hopes for his grades, his future soccer career, and his love life—but there's a small it all takes way too much work, and he's only one person. A truly tragic set of circumstances!
Between a tough and tireless coach, getting weekend homework, and having limited resources, how is he supposed to juggle it all?
Conveniently, almost as if by divine intervention, the young would-be Messi of his generation stumbles across the perfect, if realistically unlikely A talking toad named Finn, whose magic bell grants him three wishes.
Will Daniel choose his wishes wisely? Will he reach his goals, both on the field and at school, and will he follow his parents' advice to never cut corners?
At its core, Daniel's tale is about a boy learning how things work in the real world. Despite any wishful thinking on his part that he can get by with relative ease, Daniel learns that his decisions have very real consequences. These can be either destructive or constructive, depending on whether he chooses to navigate his free will with apathy and lethargy, or with the selflessness, commitment, discipline and hard work that his parents teach him to strive for.
Charming, engaging, full of down-to-earth dialogue, and with faith in God as a subtle undertone, Wishful Daniel's Tale is the first in a series of heartwarming and dynamic stories about growth, meeting your challenges head-on, and owning up to your mistakes by taking responsibility.
