An engaging introduction to debating skills.

Kids are used to disagreeing with rules - not that anyone ever listens. But what if there was a way of disagreeing that worked? What if kids could change adults' minds? Welcome to debating! Here, kids follow along as two debaters on opposing sides tackle five hot-button issues. They go step-by-step through the debate process, from constructing an argument to rebutting an opponent. Then, readers get to pick a side - and they just might surprise themselves! Debating wins!

The jury is in: Debating is smart. It's logical. And it's perfect for winning arguments. What kid could resist that?
