A 5 stars Readers\u2019 Favorite book \u2013 Two children invent a scheme to sell their parents in order to keep their dog in the new children\u2019s book by author Dr. Nicole Audet, \u201cParents for Sale\u201d (published by AuthorHouse).<\/p>\n
In this new 44-page, color-illustrated chapter-book, the Clark family encounters a dilemma. Twins Luke and Lucy don\u2019t take care of their dog, Pistachio, as they had promised their parents they would. One day, their mom threatens to sell the dog. A few hours later, when Luke and Lucy\u2019s parents go to the store, the twins concoct a plan to get rid of their parents, who could take Pistachio away from them forever.<\/p>\n
As the story progresses, three groups of children from different families in the twins\u2019 neighborhood approach Luke and Lucy with offers to buy, rent or trade the twins\u2019 parents for various reasons. Each offer Luke and Lucy receive doesn\u2019t seem worth it, so they decline. But one offer is better than others. A beautiful fairy comes to their door, offering to buy the twins\u2019 parents for $300 and send them to look after orphaned children.<\/p>\n
The deal sounds great to Luke and Lucy; they accept. But just as they agree to the sale, the fairy changes into her true form \u2013 a wicked witch with plans to turn the twins\u2019 mom and dad into a stew. The twins try to renegotiate the deal and save their parents from the hungry witch, but to no avail. As they fight with the witch on her magic broom, Pistachio attempts to save the day.<\/p>\n
Will Pistachio save the Clark family from their demise? Readers will find out the answer to this and other questions in this tale of morality and responsibility.<\/p>\n

Parents for Sale by Dr. Nicole Audet is a charming and amusing children’s story offering a unique type of life lesson learning, and enticing the imagination of its young reading audience. Dr. Nicole Audet has created a tale containing a lesson within, but with a twist in the plot only a youthful mind could fully understand and appreciate. The imagination of a child is a powerful and unique attribute. The mind of a child is often unpredictable and excited by the unseen or magical elements that make thinking, creating, and learning fun. The author adjusts her writing to depict what the mind of a child would imagine. For example, as an adult reads and starts to comprehend the story and its plot, the adult mind would assume the story and its message would end with that life lesson being played out in a learning experience, such as a punishment or something of the like, but in fact it does just the opposite. The story leans towards a happier ending in the way a child would imagine it. This is exactly why the story
\nis brilliant and perfect for young readers; they can absolutely relate its concepts, emotions, and imaginative text.<\/p>\n

Chapter 1: Dog for Sale<\/p>\n
Pistachio is a beautiful two-year-old Golden Retriever. She has lived happily with the Clarks since birth. Pistachio loves biscuits. She often rolls into a ball or jumps very high to get treats. The Clark twins, Luke and Lucy, have her do pirouettes for their friends. The twins also love to pet Pistachio\u2019s soft, caramel-red coat.<\/p>\n
Pistachio feels sad when the Clark parents shout at the twins because of her. She often hears Mrs. Clark complain, \u201cLuke, Lucy, Pistachio is hungry and thirsty. Fill her bowls!\u201d<\/p>\n
Sometimes Mr. Clark screams, and Pistachio hides behind the lounge chair. One rainy day he said loudly, \u201cKids, it\u2019s time to walk the dog, even if it\u2019s raining outside!\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cAfter the show!\u201d reply the twins, engrossed in their favorite TV show.<\/p>\n
\u201cYour father and I are walking the dog. We will have a family meeting when we come back,\u201d says the mother.<\/p>\n
Upon their return, wet from head to toe, dirty, and tired, the Clark parents summon the twins into the kitchen. The twins approach the table in silence, and then Mrs. Clark says dryly, \u201cLuke, Lucy, we know that you like Pistachio. Unfortunately, we do not have the time or resources to keep her. We\u2019ve decided to sell her. Your father and I are very tired. We work hard and spend long hours in traffic too. Our hands are already full with taking care of both of you.\u201d<\/p>\n
The twins gasp. \u201cSell Pistachio? Never!\u201d they say in unison.<\/p>\n
Chapter 2: Parents for Sale<\/p>\n
\u201cI promise to take care of Pistachio,\u201d Luke implores.<\/p>\n
The father looks at Luke and shakes his head. \u201cI\u2019ve heard that promise tons of times. Despite our warnings, your mother often ends up feeding Pistachio or walking her on rainy days.\u201d<\/p>\n
Lucy grabs her mother\u2019s arms and pleads in a honey-toned voice, \u201cGive us one last chance, Mommy.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThere is no use trying to persuade us. We\u2019ve already decided,\u201d Mrs. Clark says with a look that does not invite negotiation. \u201cYour father has already put a sign in the front lawn. We will sell Pistachio to a family that can raise her well.\u201d<\/p>\n
The twins began to cry, stamp their feet, and beg their parents. But this does not change the decision.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe need to save her!\u201d Lucy says, weeping.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019re right,\u201d Luke replies. \u201cWe should go with her.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI have a much better idea,\u201d says Lucy. \u201cLet\u2019s sell Mommy and Daddy instead. That way we won\u2019t have to sell the dog.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cBut how are we going to do that?\u201d Luke asks with a puzzled expression.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe simply replace the sign!\u201d says Lucy, happy with her brilliant idea.<\/p>\n
Just then, Mrs. Clark opens the door and shouts, \u201cLuke and Lucy, are you coming with us to the grocery store?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNo, we\u2019d rather stay with Pistachio, since this may be the last time,\u201d Luke shouts back.<\/p>\n
\u201cOkay, but do not to open the door to strangers,\u201d says twins\u2019 father.<\/p>\n
As soon as the car is out of sight, the twins and Pistachio go into the garage.<\/p>\n
Luke begins painting big white letters on a piece of dark cardboard: PARENTS FOR SALE.<\/p>\n
