We the Children: Benjamin Pratt and the Keepers of the School  BUY NOW

5:00 p.m.: SPECIAL EARLY BIRD SIGNING BEFORE THE EVENT

Benjamin Pratt’s school is about to become the site of a new amusement park. It sounds like a dream come true! But lately, Ben has been wondering if he’s going to like an amusement park in the middle of his town—with all the buses and traffic and eight dollar slices of pizza. It’s going to change everything. And Ben is not so big on all the new changes in his life, like how his dad has moved out and started living in the marina on what used to be the “family” sailboat. 

As much as the town wants to believe it, the school does not belong to the local government. It belongs to the CHILDREN and these children have the right to defend it!

Don’t think Ben, his friend Jill (and the tag-along Robert) can ruin a multi-million dollar real estate deal? Then you don’t know the history and the power of the Keepers of the School. A suspenseful six-book series, book one, We the Children, starts the battle. It’s a race to keep the school from turning into a ticket booth and these kids are about to discover just how threatening a little knowledge can be.
