This book may save lives -- it’s that good. Off Target: The Path You Choose #1 is most highly recommended. Jack Magnus for Reader’s Favorite

  …this is an accomplished work which is socially conscious and also interesting for middle grade students and up to read. I feel that Off Target is best suited as a morality work that could be read in groups at school, with parents, or in youth groups to explore the different possibilities of the choices before readers select the page to turn.

  Off Target: The Path You Choose #1—which asks the question: What would you do if someone showed you a loaded gun?

  **This book is written for a preteen to younger teen audience. Off Target is recommended for grades 5-8.**

  What would you do if your friend showed you a loaded gun?

• You, the reader, are faced with some hard choices when someone suggests that Eric should take the gun to school.
