Mightywaybooks Presents: Kids and Kindness - Encouraging stories for children 8-13.

In our last episode, Brittany learned a lesson about believing. The Coach and Mr. Carter were believing for a van to transport the girls to North Carolina for the competition. Nancy believed The Double Dutch Club had a good chance to win. And Tanya tried to help Brittany believe her father might come to see her jump. It seemed everyone was learning the importance of having faith.

Last week, The Double Dutch Club officially welcomed two new members - Brittany and Amber. Upon receiving her purple and gold t-shirt and shorts, Amber was able to let go of her disappointment of not being able to jump in the upcoming competition. Brittany was overjoyed that she had been accepted by this special group of friends called The Double Dutch Club.

In Chapter 10, Brittany wouldn't open a letter she received from her father. She didn't find out its contents until Tanya opened it and read it. Brittany didn't put much faith in learning her father wanted to attend the competition, but Tanya encouraged her to pray and believe that her dad would make it to North Carolina and see her jump.

In our last episode, Brittany and Tanya couldn't jump Double Dutch for a week. Coach Hughes wanted them to think about how they had not been truthful with Mr. Stevens regarding their family tree projects. Both girls agreed they would never again do anything to jeopardize jumping with their friends in the Double Dutch Club.

In Chapter 8, Tanya thought she could help Brittany by giving her her project. Unfortunately for the both of them Mr. Stevens gave them a deadline to finish their own projects and informed them their grades would be lowered. He also insisted they tell Coach Hughes what they had done. Fearful that Coach Hughes might drop them from the team, the girls cautiously approached her to share their confess...

Last week in Part One of Something to Jump About -Chapter 8, More Than a Friend, we left off with Brittany and Tanya agreeing to have their projects ready to turn in on Monday. Mr. Stevens also informed them that their grades would be lowered.

In our last episode, Brittany was surprised when Tanya didn't show up to turn in her Family Tree Project. When Mr. Stevens expressed his pleasure with the project, Brittany felt guilty knowing she had not done the work. Even though she felt she needed to tell Mr. Stevens the truth, Brittany first decided she needed to find her friend Tanya.

Last week, Brittany had been welcomed to the Double Dutch Club, but Tanya warned if she didn't complete her project, she would not be able to jump. Knowing how important keeping up with schoolwork was to Coach Hughes, Tanya came up with a plan to help Brittany turn in her family tree project on time.

In our last episode, the girls of the Double Dutch Club were excited about the arrival of Coach Hughes. Amber and Brittany were each hoping to get a spot on the team. Coach Hughes was very impressed with the progress Amber had made over the summer. Both girls were happy when Coach Hughes made a surprising announcement.

Last week, the students in Mr. Stevens' class found themselves facing a deadline for their family tree project. While Tanya and Brittany's thoughts were focused on jumping Double Dutch on the blacktop, Tanya was glad she at least had managed to get her ideas on paper. However, she worried Brittany wouldn't finish her project at all.

In Chapter 3, Tanya introduced Brittany to the Girls in The Double Dutch Club and invited her to jump with them on the blacktop. And although Brittany didn't get a chance to jump that day, she was glad to have been included and given the opportunity to turn the ropes.

Last week, after an unfriendly encounter, Brittany and Tanya found themselves in the same homeroom. Their teacher Mr. Stevens conducted a welcoming exercise that caused the two of them to meet again. However, Tanya's discovery about Brittany made her realize that maybe the "new girl" was as confident as she appeared.

In our last episode, we met Brittany Bowman, a new girl at Grover Cleveland who seems to be able to give back what Tanya Gordan is dishing out. While Tanya is upset to find out that Ming had returned to China, she was glad to see her friends from The Double Dutch Club. Tanya did find herself wondering what the new school year had in store.

The girls of the Double Dutch Club meet up for the start of a new school year. To their surprise, they find themselves facing new changes and challenges as they look forward to getting ready for The North Carolina Jump Off.

Mabel Elizabeth Singletary shares what inspired her to write book number 3 in The Young Conquerors Series - There Are 2R's in Tomorrow.

Last week, the annual spelling bee took place and there were some surprises. When it was over, Abby was glad to find out that she and Cee Cee were not only friends, but as Cee Cee said, "We're best Friends!"

In Chapter 12, Abby was amazed that she was one of four spelling bee finalists from Mrs. Bellamy's class. And while she couldn't predict the outcome, she was happy to know she had made it this far.

In last week's episode, Abby saw a surprising event unfold. Debbie was out and Cee Cee would now be participating in the school-wide spelling bee if she became one of the four finalist from Mrs. Bellamy's class. Then, a big announcement from Mrs. Bellamy caused all of her students to eagerly look forward to the annual school event.

In our last episode, Abby and Cee Cee found themselves in the elimination rounds for the school-wide spelling bee. But when an unexpected delay caused the finals to be put off until the next day, Abby was glad to to know she would get some extra time to prepare.

Last week, Cee Cee found herself labeled a cheater by her classmates. Abby couldn't understand why her friend didn't tell Mrs. Bellamy who the real cheater was. She hoped somehow Cee Cee would still be able to participate in the school-wide spelling bee because Abby knew Cee Cee was probably the best speller in Mrs. Bellamy's class.

In Chapter 8, Abby and Cee Cee found themselves surprised that Nisha and Debbie had turned the tables on them to the point that Cee Cee was now the person in trouble with Mrs. Bellamy. Abby vowed to make sure Mrs. Bellamy will know the truth about what really happened to her special spelling book.

Last week, Debbie agreed she would confess to cheating in the spelling bee. Both Cee Cee and Abby were glad because neither of them wanted to tell Mrs. Bellamy about what had happened. While they didn't know what to expect when they returned from recess, Cee Cee and Abby knew they didn't want to be in Debbie's place and have to face Mrs. Bellamy with such terrible news.

In Chapter 6, Abby asks Cee Cee to help her win a blue ribbon. Cee Cee agrees to help her friend and decides to share a secret she's been holding inside. After talking with Abby, Cee Cee understood what she knew she had to do.

In Chapter 5, Cee Cee found herself surrounded by her classmates who accused her of lying. Abby insisted they leave Cee Cee alone. However, Abby knew at that moment she would not be welcomed in Nisha and Debbie's group of friends. When Cee Cee suggested she and Abby be best friends, Abby was happy because everyone knows best friends often share secrets.

In Episode 4, Abby's grandma dropped her off at Debbie and Dawn's home for the twins' birthday party. Abby was glad to see Cee Cee when she arrived, but she was annoyed that somehow Nisha had once again made herself the center of attention. However, Abby was just as shocked as everyone else when Cee Cee snatched the attention away from Nisha by making a shocking announcement of her own...
