He's ten years old, and so brilliant it scares people.
He builds things that shouldn't exist yet. He navigates bullies, new schools, and situations most adults wouldn't know how to handle. And when everything gets too heavy, he reaches out to God.
Ted is the kid your child might already see in the mirror. Or the friend they haven't met yet. Either way, they won't want to put his stories down.
The Life and Times of Theodore Addison is a Christian middle-grade novel series for 4th through 6th graders.
Each book tackles the real issues kids carry: bullying, belonging, identity, and faith, without ever feeling like a lecture.

Jamaal Fridge failed 5th grade.
He was smart. He just didn't care. TV and video games had his full attention. Books and homework put him to sleep.
His mother prayed over him. Then she got creative: better grades meant more games at Christmas.
Suddenly, Jamaal had a reason to engage. His grades improved. But something deeper happened too.
He realized the problem was never laziness. It was competition. Mario and Arthur were more interesting than anything on his reading list. So he set out to write the books that could finally win that competition.
Books with pictures. Books with drama. Books that earn a child's attention instead of demanding it for a school assignment.
He wrote these books because he needed them as a kid.
He wrote these books for your child.
