Want students to read more? So does Townsend Press. That's why we created the Townsend Library—a collection of high-interest paperbacks that engage readers. These books feature compelling human stories and include an afterword and author commentary to deepen readers' enjoyment. Acclaimed by educators and readers alike, each Townsend Library book is available to schools for $3.
What would you do if . . .
• you saw a child shivering on the street?
• your enemy offered you a gift?
• you realized you could get ahead by hurting others?
• you bragged about something—and then had to prove it?
• you were the best—until someone else proved to be better?
• someone betrayed and abandoned you?
• telling the truth could cost you your life?
• you had to choose between an unremarkable life and a glorious death?
These timeless tales show what ordinary—and extraordinary—people do when given the chance to act as heroes, villains, victims, or fools.
