Franklin’s Red Dot Adventures is a 12-book series that follows Franklin growing up and facing issues children face themselves. Although I try to instill certain basic values such as integrity, respect and compassion. I try to do it in an entertaining way.  Here is the plan for the 12-book series, bold means it is published and available.

​

1. Franklin and the Red Dot Ranger —Franklin’s origin story. He takes on his first case, the mysterious Red Dot.

2. Franklin and the Grackle’s Cackle - Franklin faces his first real test of character and learns that doing the right thing matters, even when dealing with someone who has treated him badly.

3. Franklin and the Kittens of a Different Color — Franklin learns to appreciate differences and discovers that character matters more than appearance.

4. Franklin Goes to School — Franklin overcomes his first day fears, discovers the joy of learning, and learns that courage begins with taking the first step.

5. Franklin and the Mystery at Midnight — Franklin must investigate strange noises at the ranch and learns that courage does not mean being unafraid—it means doing what is right despite being afraid.

6. Franklin and the Truth That Got Away — Franklin discovers that honesty is the best policy and how one small lie can quickly become a much bigger problem.

7. Franklin Takes Charge — Franklin is placed in charge during a small ranch emergency and learns that leadership means listening, helping, and serving—not bossing others around.

8. Franklin and the Rumble in the Sky — Franklin and friends face a powerful Texas storm and learns about staying calm, being prepared, helping others, and facing fear.

9. Franklin and the Big Secret —Franklin learns the important difference between keeping a harmless secret and speaking up when someone could be hurt.

10. Franklin and the Runaway Kitten — Franklin must apply what he has learned when keeping someone’s confidence could put that kitten in danger.

11. Franklin and the Quiet Place — Franklin faces his most emotionally mature lesson. He learns that sometimes helping a hurting friend means listening, staying close, and simply being present.

12. Franklin and the Next Big Adventure — Growing Up & Wisdom
    The perfect conclusion to the first major story arc. Franklin looks back on everything he has learned about integrity, respect, education, courage, honesty, leadership, responsibility, compassion, and friendship.
