A+ Attitude
Morgan
is sad and mad at the world because things are not going the way she
wants. Why does my daddy have to leave
again to save the country? Why do I have
to go live with mommy and her new husband? Why does my mommy have to have a new
baby? Why do I have to go to a new school?
Why do I have to make new friends?
Why? Why? Why? Though she is
having a hard time adjusting to all the new things in her life, especially her
new baby brother and stepdad, Derek, Morgan makes up her mind that no matter
what is going on, she is going to have an A+ attitude.
Speak Up
When
Morgan discovers that Antoine and Alec, the new kids on her block are big
bullies she doesn’t know what to do. When she goes back to school, she finds
out that Alec is the also the new kid in her class. When her friend Trey, stops
hanging out with her and the others and hangs out with Alec instead, she is
worried. She doesn’t want Trey to get into trouble nor have the other kids
think she’s a tattletale. Morgan is having a hard time knowing what she should
do. Should she continue to keep quiet or
is it time to speak up?
Something Special
Morgan,
wanting to fit in with the crowd, teases a large girl and a special-ed kid at
school. When she is caught she has to go
to the principal’s office. When she
finds out how much her teasing hurt her classmates she feels bad. Later, while
playing together, Morgan and her cousins all share a secret wish. Morgan wants to be prettier. Drake wants to
be taller. Sadie wants longer hair. When
she goes to vacation bible school Morgan learns that God made each person just
the way they are for a reason, even those kids she laughed at and teased. Just
the way they are, is okay and they are all something special to God.
Right Thing
When
Morgan lets her best friend, Brook talk her into doing something her mommy
tells her not to do, she gets into trouble.
But that does not stop Morgan from disobeying her mommy again. When she ignores her mommy and takes her iPod
to school, she not only gets in trouble but is badly hurt by one of the older
girls. She learns that when she doesn’t
obey her parents she is not only letting them down but God too. The next time
Brook tries to talk Morgan into doing what she knows is wrong; Morgan decides
to do the right thing.
No Fear
Don’t be afraid. Have no fear. That’s what Morgan’s parents and
grandparents were always telling her.
But she was having a hard time doing what they said as she thought about
the big test coming up and wondered if her daddy was on the navy shipped that
was recently attacked. When Morgan shares her fears with her mommy, her mommy
tells her about the good news from God and about Heaven, Morgan begins to
understand why her parents and grandparents are always telling her to have no
fear.

Morgan Love is a sassy little second grader
who is not happy about her father’s military travels. She’s not happy that her
parents are divorced and living separate lives either. What she is happy about,
is that her grandmother and grandfather, whom she affectionately calls Mama and
Papa. To Morgan, Mama and Papa cares about how she feels about things, unlike
her mother, who decided to have a new baby, with her new husband, without
asking Morgan. To top things off, Morgan has to attend a new school.
The Morgan Love Series, by Stephanie Perry Moore, is great reading
for young children. In addition to life lessons that lie within the stories, Mrs. Moore has highlighted vocabulary
words throughout the book and ends each chapter with an education activity—and letters to her father.
The
Morgan Love Series is both entertaining and educational. Kudos to Stephanie
Perry Moore.
