The Blackboard Passage
When fifth-grader Peter Morgan's class clown antics land him in detention, cleaning the classroom blackboard becomes an unexpected gateway to self-discovery. After wiping the board to a mirror-like shine, Peter is astonished when his reflection acts independently-and even more shocked when he tumbles through the blackboard into a mysterious alternate reality.
In the "Reflection Realm," Peter meets the enigmatic Professor Chronos and wise Madame Wyrd, who guide him through an eye-opening journey of potential futures. Through magical mirrors and fountains, Peter witnesses the long-term consequences of his daily choices: how his disruptive behavior affects others, how teachers view his wasted potential, and how his current path might lead to increasingly negative outcomes.
Yet Peter also discovers hopeful alternatives-futures where his natural wit and creativity find constructive expression rather than causing disruption. As he returns to his classroom with newfound insight, Peter faces an immediate choice: continue as the class troublemaker or begin making small changes toward becoming a better version of himself.
"The Blackboard Passage" is a captivating middle-grade fantasy that explores how seemingly small decisions shape character over time. With engaging characters, magical elements, and profound life lessons woven into an entertaining story, this novel reminds young readers that positive change doesn't require overnight transformation-just the courage to begin, one choice at a time.
Perfect for fans of "A Wrinkle in Time" and "The Phantom Tollbooth," this thoughtful adventure will resonate with children navigating their own crossroads of identity and purpose.
