The Adventures of Tanner Bean

Tanner Bean is a 12-year-old boy growing up in the city of St. Paul Minnesota in the 1970s. Tanner learns about hard work, saving his money, dealing with a bully, and making good decisions most of the time and the consequences of bad ones.

Tanner works hard all summer saving for a new bike; not just any old bike, but the bike every kid dreamed of having because his parents could not afford to purchase it for him.

Tanner's best friend, TJ, is a girl, and she can do most things better than the boys!

The story also teaches young children some situational experiences about praying and asking God for help in times of trouble.

The ending of this story teaches us all what a good heart brings, and we would all hope our own children learn this valuable lesson.
