Right Thing — Stephanie Perry Moore

Morgan learns the hard way that it is not a good thing to disobey her parents. When she lets her best friend, Brook talk her into doing something her mommy tells her not to do, she gets caught and finds herself in trouble. But that does not stop Morgan from disobeying her mommy again. When Morgan ignores her mommy and decides to take her ipod to school, she not only gets in trouble but is badly hurt by one of the older girls. When Morgan hears her stepdad Derek talk about the Ten Commandments and obedience one Sunday at church, she remembers the times she has disobeyed her mommy. She realizes that when she does not do what her mommy and daddy tell her to do or when she does what they tell her not to do, she is not only letting them down but God too. The next time Brook tries to talk Morgan into doing what she knows is wrong, Morgan decides to do the right thing.
