Mentors are life-changers.

They guide us, inspire us, and help us grow into the best versions of ourselves. But how do you find one? Should you have just one?

Written by Josh Shipp, a former at-risk foster kid turned best-selling author and youth advocate, this book empowers kids to see the value of having mentors in every part of their life—whether for hobbies, skills, mental health, or simply navigating the ups and downs of growing up.
