The Great Zebra Debate
by Tony Bethel
Meet Brendan and Sheila, two zebras who are bullied at Ms Simba’s International Boarding School for Gifted Animals.
One day, the insults become too much, so Ms. Simba suggests that the two sides have a debate to settle the score instead. Who will win, the fact-driven zebras or their smug bullies?
With help from their fellow classmates, the zebras learn some things about other animals that help them in the debate.
Will their brain power be enough to save the day?
The Great Zebra Debate is a story about being strong enough to accept a challenge…and smart enough to accept your friends’ help.
