Friends of Mandy
The Silhouette Man (189 pages) tells the story of a person who tries to make a difference in his community, the experiences growing up that shape his interest in volunteerism and philanthropy, the people who join him along the way, and the grandparent who mentors him. The book is adult reading level. It was honored as a novel that celebrates the wisdom of older adults... The First Thirty (96 pages) is the condensed version of the story, geared to 6th-12th grade reading level (and adults who prefer shorter stories)... A Place To Sit is the companion workbook for The First Thirty and/or The Silhouette Man... The Milkshake Man is a simplified, illustrated version of the story, geared to K-5th grade reading level (and teens & adults who are kids at heart)... One Lunch is the companion workbook for The Milkshake Man.
