Shoelaces and Brussels Sprouts

One little lie, but big trouble!

When Alex lies to her mom about losing her shoelaces, it doesn't seem like a big deal.  But how do you replace special baseball laces when you don't have any money and you're not allowed to go to the store alone?  A big softball game is coming up, and Alex knows the coach won't let her pitch in shoes without laces - or in cowboy boots!

Alex knows she should tell the truth.  Why is it so hard?

Every kid gets into the predicaments that Alex does - ones that start out small and mushroom.  Readers will learn from Alex's mistakes and understand that they have the same sources of help that she turns to: a God who loves them and parents who understand.

You'll want to read all the books about Alex and her friends and family.
