Wonderwood
9-year-old
Jacob craves adventure. His grandfather (Pop) and older cousin Jack, both
treasure hunters and, at times, ghost chasers, have survived many narrow
escapes while collecting a fortune in valuable relics, gold coins and rare
jewels.
What could
he do?
Augie,
Pop’s Scottish Terrier, wearing his red bow tie, has the answer, and, in
exchange for his favorite treat, will guide Jacob to the ancient oak tree and
its hidden passage, leading to a strange and classical world of mystical
creatures, evil witches, talking animals, dangerous outlaws, brave knights,
and, if he can survive to collect it, a priceless golden key.
Can Jacob
meet the challenge? And Augie, what is HIS secret?
*****
Decided it was time to write a new book - this time featuring my youngest grandson (Jacob) & my little buddy (who is not spoiled at all) Augie - my Scottish Terrier.
Kids today don't read the classic stories so, leaving behind my YA - Rackham series (I have book #4 of the series in the works) decided it would be good to have my NEW characters visit the classics & take part in the stories. It was a blast to write & Augie (who is already quite famous) was ready for the challenge. It's a smaller middle grade book, 114 pages - not overwhelming - & each chapter is an adventure, which leads to the next classic story. Great feedback so far.

And here's Augie (he loves the beach)
