Book Summary
Witnessing the deterioration of her
inner-city neighborhood, Stephanie decides to “light her candle” to help clean
up the trash and stop the violence.
After convincing her two friends to do as much good as they can for one week,
Stephanie and her friends, with the help of parents, end up transforming their
inner-city school and the whole city from a place of violence and deterioration
to a model of order and cleanliness.
Carl Sommer shows that in spite of many obstacles, one
person’s determination and desire to do well can transform an entire community .
This inspiring story teaches the importance of citizenship, caring for others,
and community service.
