Product Description
Could he be a hero? No one would believe it. Five feet tall, twelve years old-Jamie Martin has all he can do to survive day-to-day, but life is never that simple. Hard work and dedication have given Jamie exceptional skills, yet he remains insecure. Beset upon by relentless bullies, challenged to attend a Tae Kwon Do tournament despite, his recent failure, and training for his black belt test are not even his most difficult challenges. Though he must learn to face all of these things, they pale in comparison to the riddle he must solve. A fellow student has written a pair of disturbing poems that warn of things to come. The vice principal brushes them off as no concern, but Jamie believes they may have dire consequences. If he fails to discover the truth behind these mysterious papers in time, someone will die.

Great martial arts (Tae Kwon Do) story for young adults May 2, 2004
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
FINDING STRENGTH held my interest throughout the entire book. The story line mystery takes unexpected turns, and the characters are realistic. The action scenes are very detailed. As a martial artist myself, I appreciate the author's effort at portraying the true matial arts philosophy of non-violence. Although it is packed full of action, this is not your typical "kick out somebody's teeth" karate story. Because of this, and the age of the main characters(high school), I think this is a great book for teens and young adults. I myself am a few decades older, but found it a very good read. In fact, I read it twice.
