This family oriented story has a strong message for girls, boys and parents about expectations and achievements. The storyline and surprise ending will keep the audience or reader engaged.
"Are you going to be famous, just like your father?" People were always asking Jeremy that question. He knew someone would ask it again tonight - at least three times - in front of his father. That was the worst part. Jeremy didn''t want to disappoint his dad, but he wasn''t ready to make such a big decision. He knew his ears would turn red and he would say what he always said ... "I don''t know." As it turned out, this night was different. This was the night of Jeremy''s Decision.
