  • The Young Conquerors Series: Finding Alan Treadwell Chapter 16 Finding Alan Treadwell

    Uncle Gerald told Alan he had a surprise for the team but didn’t reveal what it was. He asked Alan to go and round up everyone for practice. When Alan and the other boys reached Jimmy’s house, they didn’t want to get him and didn’t want him on the team. Alan decided to do what his uncle had asked and that was to get everyone—including Jimmy. Alan felt bad when he realized Jimmy had heard what the other boys had said about him. 

    Jimmy apologized for the way he had treated Alan and Alan saw that as a new beginning. Alan and Jimmy went to the field where they found Uncle Gerald and the rest of the team. When Uncle Gerald realized there were some who didn’t want Jimmy to play, he reminded them that a

    real team works together.

  • The Young Conquerors Series: FINDING ALAN TREADWELL Chapter 15 The Ready or Nots

    In our last episode, Alan and Jimmy got to the baseball field and found that none of the kids had shown up. It was soon clear to them—no one wanted Jimmy to be there. Alan felt bad because he didn’t want Jimmy there either.  However, remembering how his mom had once told him to treat others the way he wanted to be treated, he decided to say something nice to Jimmy.

    Once the rest of the kids arrived, Marcus and Craig made sure Jimmy knew they didn’t

    want to practice with him. Uncle Gerald complimented Jimmy on his pitching and invited him to practice. None of the other kids protested, so an excited Jimmy agreed to stay. For that one afternoon, he was happy to be just one of the kids who loved the game of baseball.

  • The Young Conquerors Series: FINDING ALAN TREADWELL Chapter 14 Waiting Game

    Uncle Gerald, along with Aunt Tammy and Alan’s mom, decided he was going to find the kids from the baseball
    field—even if it meant going door to door.  Alan was glad when his uncle told him he wouldn’t have to go. However, Uncle Gerald had something else in mind for Alan.
    He asked him to go to Jimmy’s house and invite him to come to practice. Alan reluctantly agreed to go while expecting to be greeted with more of Jimmy’s insults, but this time he learned that maybe Jimmy really didn’t enjoy bullying other people the way it so often appeared.

  • The Young Conquerors Series: FINDING ALAN TREADWELL Chapter 13 The Favor

    In Chapter 12, Uncle Gerald encouraged Alan to come with him to the baseball field and get his chance to

    pitch in a game. Alan wanted to believe he could, but still feared Jimmy Fishburn’s control over the other kids and hoped he wouldn’t be there.

    Alan was stunned when his uncle told him to go and get Jimmy if he didn’t show up. He explained that

    sometimes we must face situations in life that make us uncomfortable. He called those situations mountains.

    Both Uncle Gerald and Alan were shocked to find that no one had shown up for practice. Alan knew Jimmy had

    somehow caused everyone to stay away. And he considered Jimmy to be the one mountain they just couldn’t move, they couldn’t get around, or ever get through.

  • The Young Conquerors Series: FINDING ALAN TREADWELL Chapter 12 We Can Fix It

    It surprised Jimmy and Alan to learn that as they were playing catch, Uncle Gerald was coaching the kids
    who were playing baseball at the field. Jimmy was angry and stormed out of Alan’s yard. Alan wanted to know if his uncle planned to go back the next day. Uncle Gerald said yes and Alan asked if he could go with him. Thinking Jimmy might be gone for good, Alan looked forward to playing with the team. However, he was stunned when Uncle Gerald told him he hoped Jimmy would return to the field too.

  • The Young Conquerors Series: FINDING ALAN TREADWELL Chapter 11 Who's in Charge?

    Alan was surprised when he got home to find Jimmy Fishburn sitting at his patio table. Jimmy explained why

    he took so long to come back.  However, Alan wasn’t sure about accepting Jimmy’s excuse or whether to forgive him for what he thought could have been just another one of Jimmy’s mean tricks. For the first time, Jimmy called Alan by his name, and that made him remember what his mom said about the act of forgiving people who hurt others.
