Cilla's Dilemma A Cautionary Tale about Fitting In

This book is intended for readers who might prefer a quieter book cover. So, this is the same Cilla's Dilemma story dressed in simple black. The original colorful cover represents Cilla in her imagination where she still enjoys running, skipping and dancing and isn't quite ready to give them up. Priscilla comes back to school after a long absence anticipating how wonderful it will be to see her friends again to discover that things at school have changed in a dramatic way and not for the better! There is a new kid named Dexter who has managed to have such a profound influence over her friends that they are all looking and acting... ALIKE! Cilla has to decide what she is willing to do and how much she is willing to give up to please her friends. The story is in lyrical rhyming text that is fun to read dramatically aloud, great for family reading sessions. It is an educational tool for building vocabulary with an extensive glossary and index in the back. The glossary definitions define the words specifically as they are used in the story. The book is also intended to help Intermediate and Advanced English language learners with 50 colorful illustrations that reflect the text content and the rhyming text reinforces pronunciation.
