Please note: These exercise are intended for the young adult book, Falling Uphill: Dreams for the young adventurer. Life is extraordinarily complicated, mysterious, beautiful and, sometimes, ugly; therefore, the adult book is intended for mature audiences, and is not recommended for younger audiences without being reviewed for appropriateness. Thanks for your understanding.
