The Lucas Lightfoot books are more than simply good chapter books for middle-grade readers. These books are the start of a great moral movement! The goal is to get children engaged with the characters, Lucas Lightfoot, Hailey Sinclair, and Prescott, the mystical chameleon. The adventure, excitement, mystery, magic, and challenging adversaries keep the children reading with anticipation. And through the actions, conversations, and memorable stories imbedded in the chapters these books present core values, character themes, and moral lessons in a way that is easy for children to understand. The adventure and action that the children love in the novels is like the tip of the iceberg, while the larger and more significant moral lessons below the surface are carefully shaped for the readers. Lucas and Hailey are taught valuable lessons from their mentors, and the readers get a front-row seat and learn right along with the characters.
