'Hood Vibrations: A Law of Attraction Story for Teens

By Ann Benton

Negative attention is better than no attention, Silas has learned. He ends up in after-school detention before the first week of school is over, on multiple counts disrupting class, cheating, not turning in homework, smoking on school grounds, bullying, and fighting. His father told Silas before he left that he would never amount to no good. Silas seems out to prove him right.

In HOOD VIBRATIONS, a new science teacher introduces the universal Law of Attraction to Silas and gives him an assignment that just might change his life from living in the poverty of the ghetto to living in a world of prosperity and possibilities, limited only by his imagination. Can he do it? Can he make it out of the hood using the power of his mind? Read the story, try the experiment for yourself, and reap the rewards of your good vibrations. Enjoy, and tell me what you think. Go to: www.LawOfAttractionJr.com
