Wilder Kids: I Really Want to Go to College is an audiobook about African American and Hispanic children who enjoy talking about attending high school and college, and who are strongly influenced by their families to attend college. This book is about four ambitious children: Charles, Ashley, Juan, and Rosa. One day walking to school, they talk about attending high school and college. Charles and Ashley are African American siblings who have an older brother, Vernon. He attends a community college. Their mom once attended a community college and hopes to return back to school. She is raising Charles and Ashley alone. The conversation in Charles and Ashley's household is from their mom on how important it is to finish high school and college. Charles loves to talk about education and he finds educational activities to keep him busy. Vernon is attending a community college and hopes one day to become a computer specialist. Juan is Mexican and a sixth grader, like Charles and Ashley, who tells his story about his brother, Raoul. He graduated from college after serving in the army and completed college. He works as sales representative. Juan's dad attends immigration classes to help him become a United State Citizen. Rosa has migrated from Mexico with her mother. She attends the Wilder School and in the same class with Charles, Ashley, and Juan. She talks less about attending college, but she has a desire to finish high school and college. Ms. Dudley, their sixth grade teacher, believes strongly that minority children should complete their education with high school and college.
