Hi, this is Jordan O'Kelley. I wrote my first book, "O'Kelley Legendary Legends of Legend" when I was in 4th grade, to get out of doing homework. That may sound counter-intuitive, but that's the way it happened. Now I have adapted that book of funny (slightly embellished) family stories into this book of monologues, which can easily be performed by elementary and middle school students, in drama class, as a school play, or as a community fundraiser. My friends and I performed "O'Kelley Legends Monologues" as a benefit show for SENG, an organization that supports gifted education, and the show was the highlight of my 8th grade year. I hope you will have as much fun as we did reading and performing these monologues. And I still want to say... if you have a kid that hates homework, maybe give them a break and let them write something that they want to write about instead. It worked for me!
