Nine year-old Debbie Folino belives she can do most anything. But when she takes a dare to trick-or-treat the witch living in the spooky house at the end of Oak Street, she discovers eighty year-old Sara Baker, who changes her life forever and introduces Debbie to someone even more important, Jesus Christ.

Five Stars from The Midwest Book Review:  "Written by Major Mitchell, THE WITCH ON OAK STREET is a wonderful series of original, imaginative, and entertaining tales in which a nine year old heroine named Debbie Folino learns amazing life lessons about true friendship, Christian faith, and ultimate belief.  Along with her friends she experiences the challenges, hard knocks, laughs, and joys of growing up with an unexpected ally - The witch on Oak street turns out to be a very wise lady who believes in Jesus and other good things.  Delightfully illustrated with humourous black and white drawings by Karen Borelli, THE WITCH ON OAK STREET is certain to find a solid readership among the 9-11 year old crowd.  The stories are effectively conveyed morality tales.  Each one deals with a certain problem or challenge faced by children, and ranges from selfishness and telling untruths, to phony popularity and even mortality.  THE WITCH ON OAK STREET is a great way to present natural growth to young readers, as well as a model for asking the important questions relevant to childhood."

49 Pages - Children's 11 X 8 1/2 Full Color Picture Book - Xlibris

Charlie wants to be a member of the pack more than anything. But he will have to dig a hole under the fence to join the other dogs, which is something Bob, his human, doesn't want him to do. And being a member also means he would have to turn his back on his best friend, Samantha, because being friends with a cat is something the pack doesn't think a dog should do.

Deborah Cone:  "As a former pre-school teacher, I recommend this book for children pre-school through kindergarten and first grade.  It is an ideal book for curriculum units based on friendship, differences, conflicts, and values.  Mr. Mitchell's heartwarming characters, Charlie Shepherd, Paco the Chihuahua, and Samantha the Siamese cat, guide us through these lessons to discover what true friendship is really about."

Edi Locke:  "Charlie Shepherd is a tale that is entertaining and enjoyable for young children.  They will connect with the main character, Charlie, as the author creates vivid images of other dogs and cats who are feuding.  The clever, hand-drawn illustrations illuminate the story.  With active descriptive words, the author skillfully demonstrates the importance of bravery, friendship and love."
