<p>Ever wonder what magic formula makes a successful teacher. Guess what? There is no magic formula or magic pill. But, I hope this book will help you become a successful teacher. This book, organized in ABC form, concentrates on characteristics I have observed over my career as a teacher. Some positive and some negative. I hope you see yourself more in the positive traits, rather than the negative. Don’t’ beat yourself up though because let’s be honest we have all had days that we projected one or more of these undesirable qualities. This is a hard look at different characteristics of teachers from a firsthand perspective. Each topic is divided alphabetically. An appendix is added at the end of the book for topic organization. Teacher traits follow a specific guideline. Each attribute is explained, first by an opinion based on personal experience along with a teacher story where applicable, and then by a visual. I do not profess to be the “guru” of teachers. The opinions expressed in the ABC book are just that—my opinions, gathered from my experiences as a teacher. Please read with that in mind. I hope you find some of the information useful. The clip art cartoons are an attempt to infuse humor into the reading. First and foremost, I want to encourage people to be teachers. I love teaching and want to see more people choosing teaching as a career. It is with that positive spirit that I hope you enjoy and find information you can use from this ABC book for teachers.</p>

In Tallahassee, Florida, twelve-year-old, wheelchair-bound Newt Willis modifies his father's top-secret computer program into a holographic game, and when spies steal a game disk from one of his school friends, Newt must save his father's program and company. Following a car accident that leaves him using a wheelchair, computer whiz Isaac Newton (Newt) Willis adapts a NASA computer communications program developed by his father into a holographic game—a virtual world—“Newt’s World.” But when he shares the game with his two new best friends, an international espionage ring learns about the program and holds Newt’s school hostage. Can Newt save his classmates? Will the virtual world fall into the wrong hands? Could Newt’s World be more than just a kids’ video game?
