The books
A three-book series about courage, friendship and quiet faith — written for readers aged 8 to 13.
The collection
Follow Jordan from the day he arrives on Hart Street to the choice that is his alone to make.
Book 1The day everything changed for Jordan.
A new street, a new school, and a family next door who make room at their table. Book one of the Meeting the Allens series introduces Jordan and the friendships that will carry him through everything that comes next.
Book 2Doing the right thing is rarely the easy thing.
When the hallways get unkind, Jordan has to decide who he is going to be. A warm, hopeful story about courage, forgiveness, and the friends who stand beside you when you finally speak up.
Book 3Some choices you make for yourself.
Jordan has learned to welcome others and to stand up for what is right. Now comes the choice that is his alone to make — with his family, the Allens and the whole gang beside him. Book three brings the series home.
Before you buy
The practical details parents, teachers and librarians ask about most.
Each book stands on its own, but Jordan's story builds across the series — starting with Meeting the Allens on Hart Street gives the friendships their full weight.
Written for readers aged 8 to 13, at a reading level that suits confident solo readers and works just as well read aloud a chapter at a time.
Courage, forgiveness and friendship, set in ordinary places — a new street, a school hallway, a kitchen table. Faith is lived rather than preached.
Yes — the stories deal with being the new kid, unkindness between classmates and making things right, which tend to spark good discussion in a group.
