We need to have self-esteem if we are to reach our potential. School, with its series of challenges and achievements, can be extended to life. Think about how good you feel when someone compliments you; think about how good you feel when someone doesn't. Do you feel the same? How much more easily are you able to complete a task when you feel confident doing it and know your own strength? How excited do you feel, knowing the next thing you'll achieve?

THE ADVENTURE OF
A LIFETIME BEGINS...
Welcome to Me!
In this first book in the incredible series,
meet Austin, a kid with impossible dreams—
"to achieve world peace"—just by being "me!"
Throw a birthday party, soar through the galaxy,
and get acquainted to the Me-Verse of Austin
in this smash debut to the best-selling series.
NOW ENTERING THE BOOK OF WOW
The series continues in "The Book(s) of Wow": Now available in single issues or in a gorgeous boxed volume!
Welcome to "The Book of Wow!" Here Austin introduces himself in his Ordinary World, a place where any Kid can be a Zero, and every Zero can be a Hero, but every Hero wants to be a Mero—and, well, all Austin has is his incredible Speaking world of Special Paints, Sandy, and Magic Pencils.
The Book of Wow continues with its second book—Mom's Day. Meet the marvelous "Janie Story" in all her glory—giving Austin his Chalky Chip pancakes, Frues & Forgettables, "Dr. Pill," his very first Human Bean, and unforgettable stories about the Origin of Me—and All Things, and
Every Thing.
It's time for Dood's Day in the 3rd Book of Wow! It's time to join Austin & Dad on the romp up their Family Tree to the Treehouse, a domain where Dad knows all the Stories—about Dingy Douse, the Lying King, Prince Barfing—and his dreams are only equaled by the Evil Force that seems coming to take over the Kingdom—well, when you're not eating ice cream—and if you believe in that kind of thing.
Hump Day is here! It's a day of magic, as Mom, Dad, and Austin re-unite. Auspicious beginnings (PBJ, anyone?) quickly turn sour (lemon-aid) as "the Parental Units" have to go to something sounding horrible—"WORK." Will Austin, equipped with his newest fan-fics from Iris the mail-lady, be able to rescue them from the dreaded "Fee Mail," and stop them from turning into terrible Hump-backed monsters?
The final piece to the Book of Wow best-selling mini-series drops today! Join Austin and his wild imagination as he meets GT, the dreaded "Truck from the Down Under." Take a ride through its innards, escape the Trash Compactor, brave the stench for the Story of the Sweeper, chase after GT (and Sandy) as he disappears—and come to the edge of your own little hill, as The City appears before you—FINALLY!
NOW LEAVING THE BOOK OF WOW...AND ENTERING...
The story leaps into high-gear in Book 3 of Me: The City of Dreams!
Welcome to the City of Dreams! Soar with Austin in the first book in this mini-series, through this most Amazing place, where everyone lives to work and loves to live, and everyone is happy! Hop on the Subway, and DO NOT press all the Buttons on the Elevator—quick! We're going to be late for our Morning Meeting! It's not all Everything Bagels and tasty treats...it's Stocks, Coffee, Stress after a long week...Hey! Why not give them something to Cheer for? Why not plan a Parade?
Hooray for Splatter Day! It's the day everyone's been waiting for! Watch all of Civilization pour in to the Town Square, where Mayor May Bee gives you the Scissors to officially launch the Parade, and feel like you're one in Millions! And look! The Super Mes are flying through, displaying their Me's, the super Special powers that make everyone Unique—(well, maybe except for me) and the Parade is winding through the City, off to the Hidden Hills—and hey, why are we still watching? It's time for an After-Party! For Balloons! For Cake! But strangely, somehow,
I'm not completely in the mood to celebrate...
Austin looks out beyond the Known World for the first time. He imagines the Valleys, the City (where they're still cleaning up, having a massive party), over the Coastal Ranges to the Pier, the Beach, the Shimmering Seas, the Islands sprinkled like Jewel Bugs, the Jungles, the Forests, the Mountains, the Tundras, the Deserts with their Hidden Oases, the vast, crumbly Sand Castles in the Sky—and, most of all, a School, where my Teacher gives me my Special Work, and I have all sorts of friends, and all our wildest Dreams can come true—well, it may all only be a dream, but it would still be cool! 8-D
NOW LEAVING THE BOOK OF THE CITY...AND COMING..."HOME" FOR THE CALL TO ADVENTURE...THE "GRAND FINALE"
Family Game Night has arrived! It's time to come in to the Dinner Table for some delicious Blahccoli and Extra Cheesy Macaroni and Dad's corny jokes and the Macarena which seems to be some super-secret art of Dancing—then off to the Play Room for some exhilarating Bored Games like Charades, Chest & Checkers & Go Fish & Twister & Monopoly & this thing called the Game of Life—and the best part of the Night—TV! When you get to eat Sliced Bream right out of the pint and watch your favorite shows, Open Sesame Street and Finding Your Frues and commercials for Unicorn Poop...hold on a second...what's this? the Boob Tube is flickering. Put on your Tin Foil Hat. I think we're receiving an Alien Transmission!!!!!
The Ship is finally hitting the Fan in this breathtaking, can't miss, series-turning installment in Me. What begins as an innocuous "alien transmission" from your local broadcasters, Janet Planet and Gander Galaxy, takes a turn for the worse when an ordinary "ice cream truck" steals from a Yard Sale in a Picture-Perfect Neighborhood, barrels into the City to commit a Bank Robbery, and a giant Eraser comes down from the Sky, seeming to disintegrate memories, and split Time—a perfect time for the Super Meros to spring into action. But something's wrong—the Incredible Hulk is turning into the Incredible Sulk, Spider-Blam is just slamming into everything, and Captain Plan-It just, well, wants to sit around and plan everything. Dr. Djinn is furious. They got his order wrong. "I ordered..." he shouts, "a MANHATTAN!!!" Nuclear bodies are proliferating, destroying Everything, in a terrible flash of blinding rainbows. The UN has called a General Assembly. A Summit, if you will. And up the Steps, a Great Savior is ascending...

"Friends, Romans, Countrymen," he begins. "Women, children, Gods, aliens. The Time has come..." and so the Great Soliloquy begins. The Mysterious Leader introduces himself as Conall the Crumpled, upstart ruler of the land of Belief. "The World is on the Brink of World War III," he announces, "And Extra-Ordinary times call for Extra-Ordinary measures. it is my firm Belief," he intones, "That in this World, there are two kinds of People—the Free, and the Crumpled. For a long time, people have been waiting to burst out of their shells, shake the Universe to its core, and claim the Powers endowed to them by their Creator." He smiles. "And I have just the Solution," he offers. "Give all your Me's, your Special Powers, to me—and I will give them back to you, with the addition of an Unfathomable Power."
Conall Crumple sends out Interpull, the World's most fabled and elite police force, from Port Said to capture all the World's Mes. Mom insists on flipping the Channel. That's OK—there's always lots of good late-night shows. Beautiful Opal Winfree comes on, interviewing none other than—Dr. Pill?? Jimmy Falls On (who keeps slipping on Banana Peels) has crazy Dr. Quarx, a Mad Scientist from—where did he say again? There's all these great Commercials. One for Busybland, where everyone happily types away at their cubicles and drones on the phone, one for Drearyland, one from the makers of Blorst, and Sucky Charms ("Imagine taste like Dishes!") and...what is this? A new Construction on this Island?
"BED." Mom says. I go to brush my Teeth, but I can't get the Voice out of my head of Dr. Pill saying, "There can be no such thing as Cotton Candy. Such things are Impossible." I put on my PJs (Pajamas—not Peanut Jellies) and listen as Mom continues her story. There's a new Wrinkle this Time. They tuck me in, and I pretend to be asleep—but I can't sleep. I head outside with Sandy. E-V comes out to greet me, quietly puttering. I look out from my Hill, with Howl and Hoo calling me. "Who, who, who are you?" Mocking Bird keeps mocking me. I look up at the Stars, and see my Ancestors, reaching down to me, talking to me. If only I could see a Star...if only a Miracle could happen tonight...
I wake up the next morning. Something seems Different...my Head is clearing...suddenly I realize, I'VE GOT IT!!! I gather all my Pens and Pencils and Special Paints and start scribbling. I remember my Dream and what it all means. The Birthday Party. Cake and Ice Cream. Balloons & Confetti. "SOMEDAY," I write, "I'M GOING TO ACHIEVE WORLD PEACE—JUST BY BEING ME!"
I hear Doorknob squeak. And my Mom comes in, just as I'm in the middle of my Diary, without even knocking.
