The Young Conquerors Series: Finding Alan Treadwell Chapter 3 THE CHOICE

Last week we learned that Alan was concerned about his weight.  And while his mom encouraged him to try and make friends, Alan’s fear of a bully named Jimmy Fishburn was an important reason why he chose to stay in his yard and watch the game from his fence. Jimmy tormented him every chance he got. Once Alan realized he would have no one to talk to, he regretted not playing Hide and Seek with his younger cousin Hannah. But Alan became hopeful when a guest named Miss Ginny stopped by his home and shared that she had a grandson about the same age and that he too loved baseball. Alan was anxious to meet him knowing there was a chance to make a new baseball loving friend.
