TURTLE ON A FENCE POST is "the ideal gift of wisdom and inspiration for the high school graduate."The ultimate ''life after high school'' reference book - a guide to help our children and their friends navigate the complicated ''real world'' they will face after graduation. Why 365 lessons? Because it is important to learn something new every day. Each lesson is short - it can be read quickly over breakfast or during a study break. A theme for each day of the week. Monday''s message is motivational; Tuesday''s and Wednesday''s are hints for advancing a career. Thursday''s and Friday''s are general life lessons. Saturday''s focus is on social aspects, while Sunday''s spiritual guidance comes from many religions, philosophers and teachers. High school and university textbooks provide the book smarts; TURTLE ON A FENCE POST will help with the ''life smarts.''About the authorsJIM PRATT After college (B.
