Book Synopsis: Diary Bloggers and best friends, Nina and Joe, have formed a \"secret society\" they call \"The Fickle Finders!\" This is a club where their opinions count the most! Everything from aliens to angels, they aim to put it through their odd, investigative filter to determine whether it's \"FICKLE\" or \"NOT FICKLE!\" Just before getting church-rules crammed down their throats (aka: \"Confirmation Class\"), the Fickle Finders aim to figure out the mystery of the \"F\" Word seemingly embedded in the very walls of their church--FAITH!!! CHAPTER 1 MY DIARY BLOG INTRODUCTION (A FEW DAYS LATE): Nina introduces herself to her newly formed audience on a \"Diary Blog\" website. She's a little late on writing her introduction for this special blog now entering the Internet world! Nina's next-door neighbors include her mom's best friend, along with her husband and their son, Joe. It turns out that Joe is actually Nina's best friend, too, and they are both 12 years old! Together, they form a \"secret society\" where they investigate anything they personally question without (admitted) direct influence from the adults in their life. Chapter 1 Questions: 1. Why is Nina late on introducing what her blog is about? 2. Where does Nina say to look for her if she's not heard from again and why? 3. Why are Nina and Joe neighbors? 4. Why is Joe more likely to have accidents? 5. What does Joe do to avoid being embarrassed about his height? Chapter 1 Answers: 1. Because she is often behind on various things and does a lot of things \"out of order.\" 2. At church, looking for answers that have her mystified. 3. Nina and Joe's mom's, Mindy and Cindy are best friends. So their moms thought it would be neat if their kids grew up close together, too. 4. Because Joe is left-handed, and Nina says that research shows that lefties are more likely to have accidents, because this is a right-handed person's world. Joe is also very clumsy in general. 5. He walks around on his knees, and even gets yelled at by his teacher, Miss King, for doing it. Chapter 1 Project and Discussion Ideas: 1. Write a paragraph with your non-dominate hand, without smearing the ink. See who writes the neatest by taking a vote from the class. 2. Make up your own secret society name. Come up with a theme for it and write up a blog with an introduction for your audience so they will know if they'd like to join it or not. Then share your blog with your classmates, and see how many people would like to sign up for your blog and have them write down why they would or why they wouldn't want to join it. 3. Have knee races; see who is the fastest by only being on your knees--no hands on the floor are allowed! 4. Make a list of names that rhyme, like Mindy and Cindy. See who comes up with the most names! Review Quotes : Not Only Did We Seek Faith, But Faith Found Us\" Nimble Nina \u0026amp; Jumpn Joe, Challenged \u0026amp; Oddly Motivated To Figuring Things Out by Brian E. Erland Amazon Hall of Fame Is there anything in this world more boring to a pre-teen than spirituality? Well besides chores, homework and vegetables that is. It's bad enough to have to read about such subjects as; beliefs, traditions and rituals, and that's actually the easy stuff to grasp. At least those are things that are learned through memorization and repetition, two of the simpler and more frequently utilized teaching methodologies. However without the glue that holds them together what real use are they? The glue is `Faith' and faith only comes as a by-product of personal experience. The task of finding faith is Gods' invitation to partake in a wondrous adventure of self-discovery by learning how to discern the presence of the sacred within the mundane. It's not so easy a task. How do you know where to look or what to look for? You don't, but you continue investigating anyway until faith eventually finds you. A dichotomy to be sure, but it's nevertheless true. In `Diary Blog of the Fickle Finders: Investigates-The Other F Word' author, comic book illustrator, talk show host and occupational therapist Heidi Hollis has written and illustrated a fictional tale 256 page in length with 180 + images dealing with the subject matter of faith and the process of spiritual formation for pre-teens ranging from ages 7 and up. Taking full advantage of her trademark humor and quirky perspective the young reader will enjoy Heidi's storytelling style as they follow the exploits and thought processes of twelve year old Nina and her best friend Joe. Synopsis: Just days before attending their first catechism class our intrepid duo take on the task of figuring out what is faith, is it fickle* and whether or not they already possess it. Accompanied by Nina's miracle dog Alien our amateur sleuths romp about the neighborhood looking for clues that just might reveal the elusive and mysterious nature of faith. Even after a long day of field research the day's work isn't done until all the findings of their investigation are rigorously recorded on their secret society blog site \"The Fickle Finders.\" Of course you probably already knew that since you are a subscriber, aren't you? With this kind of work ethic surely success will be their ultimate reward! Come and join `The Fickle Finders' secret society and add a few of your own observations to the internet diary blog, or maybe just meet them at the Bat Tree (yes I said tree) for a little upside down brainstorming. Finding Faith is definitely a daunting mission but the clues are all around and generally awaiting discovery in the most unexpected of places. *Fickle: changing frequently, especially as regards to one's beliefs, loyalties, interests, or affections. P.S.: If you happen to run into the prayer gnome please say hello for me. A great way to explore faith and engage young readers by JB Thomas (author \u0026amp; English teacher) This is a fun book, but it should not be underestimated in its power for meaning and language. I was impressed by the \"reader-friendly\" voice, but also how Hollis used more challenging vocabulary in parts. As an English teacher, I am concerned by the \"dumbing-down\" of stories, but this book entertains and challenges at the same time - which is quite a feat. The artwork is nicely done and breaks up the text beautifully. The text is concise and corresponds nicely with the images. Finally, there is a strong character voice and the protagonist is an interesting and dynamic role model to elementary school-aged readers.
