Publisher's Synopsis
The 2nd Edition S.O.T. Storybooks were designed for venues such as libraries where writing in books; as in my regular storybooks (which include various activities that require writing or cutting), must not be encouraged. Therefore, only the story and the secret coded message have been included in the 2nd edition versions. You can copy the secret coded worksheet to decode the message if the 2nd edition storybook doesn't belong to you. Ungrateful Ursula contains 'sensitive' material. It is recommended for children ages ten and above. The story deals with a teenaged girl who grew up without her mother, and who very rarely saw her father. She lives temporarily with her aging grandmother. However, because of her grandmother's illness, Ursula must now live with her father, and she begins to us 'cutting' as her method of coping. Things smooth out, but it's a very bumpy, painful ride Walk with Ursula as she moves from 'much pain' to 'much gain.'
