Willie Bohanon & friends learn the power of self-determination
Jones, Kip
"Willie Bohanon knows self-determination is a key to success. Too bad his closest friends don't think so. They struggle to set the simplest of goals. Even Willie sometimes loses focus and gives up. Luckily for him and his pals, a mentor teaches them about SWAG -- Self-determination, Working hard, Ambition and Guidance. It's a timely lesson for the teens, who are reminded that they power their own success. Written in a comic-book style, this is the first in the author's Willie Bohanon series."--Provided by publisher.
