Reviews

I'm a literary and media specialist at an elementary school, and my students love this book! Do Right Ronnie is a very creative way to introduce the idea that every action has a consequence, especially when kids don't always realize this. The social dilemmas in this book are very relatable and are issues my own students face everyday. Allowing them to choose how Ronnie deals with each dilemma is powerful because seeing Ronnie's consequences (good or bad) creates teachable moments that carry into their own lives. This book is a must read for any student dealing with the social pressures of today's society. - Heather Lockhart
