Paul Fessock brings the wisdom of an experienced educator and the creativity of a talented musician to the creation of an enjoyable and valuable book for children. His characters, Socks, Johnny One Lipp and Heavy Metal Harry, are very likeable, and children can easily relate to them. Paul uses the knowledge he has of working with thousands of different children to add real characteristics and emotions that help make his characters believable. The message of the book is an important one-friendships can develop in the most unlikely situations if we give them a chance. Children of all ages will enjoy the story!
