How to Steal a Dog, by Barbara O'Connor also describes a character facing a moral dilemma. This story challenges children and adults to examine their own beliefs about what is right and wrong and to wade into the messy, gray areas that sometimes inform our decisions and actions.

I love Marcello in the Real World by Francesco X Stork for looking at ethics. Marcello, a teen with Asperger's , takes some courageous actions to follow his moral compass even though his father's law firm may be hurt.

Great Expectations
It's time to move on to our topic for the second part of September: Great Expectations.
Some books offer great examples of positive-or negative-behaviors. Whether they are funny or poignant, books that honestly and authentically depict characters at their best or their worst offer great opportunities to talk about (or quietly model) behavior and expectations. What are books you've found helpful in affirming your own great expectations for kids in the classroom, in the library, and beyond?
