In a world full of lies, misinformation, and uncertainty, give your child one of life's most valuable skills-the ability to find the truth.
Finding Truth: A Kid's Guide to Spotting Lies, Checking Facts, and Building Sound Judgment is an engaging middle-grade adventure that helps young readers develop one of life's most important skills: learning how to think clearly and evaluate information before believing or sharing it.
When Kael arrives at Wayfinder Academy, he expects another exciting adventure. Instead, he discovers that the greatest mysteries are not solved by guesses-they are solved through careful observation, thoughtful questions, reliable evidence, and sound judgment. Guided by wise mentors and challenged by real-world puzzles, Kael learns that truth is rarely found by following the loudest voice. It is discovered through curiosity, critical thinking, and the courage to change one's mind when better evidence appears.
Throughout the story, readers are introduced to the Truth-Finding Process™, a practical framework that teaches them how to ask better questions, investigate claims, evaluate sources, distinguish facts from opinions, recognize misinformation, weigh evidence fairly, and make well-reasoned decisions. These are the same habits of mind used by scientists, researchers, journalists, engineers, historians, investigators, and other professionals who rely on evidence to reach sound conclusions. Rather than telling children what to think, the book teaches them how to think independently and responsibly.
Blending adventure, mystery, and character development with practical thinking skills, Finding Truth encourages readers to become thoughtful investigators in school, online, and everyday life. It promotes intellectual curiosity, evidence-based reasoning, media literacy, resilience, humility, and responsible decision-making-skills that remain valuable long after childhood.
Part of the Skillful Adventures™ Series, this book transforms essential life skills into memorable stories that inspire confidence, good judgment, and lifelong learning. Ideal for readers ages 7-14, parents, educators, classrooms, libraries, and homeschool programs, Finding Truth provides an engaging introduction to critical thinking without becoming a textbook.
More than an adventure, this is a story about developing the habits of mind that help young people navigate an increasingly complex world with confidence, wisdom, and integrity. It invites every reader to ask better questions, follow the evidence wherever it leads, and discover that the lifelong search for truth is one of the greatest adventures of all.
