Jordy and his family move to a small sea-side town that is dying and where he feels like he doesn't fit in with the other kids at school. He hears rumours that the school librarian is a pirate and with a new friend, decides to find out the truth, ultimately, making the town face it's varied past. This entertaining novelette is about friendship, perseverance, acceptance, and imagination, it is a great short read for any youth and adults alike!
Autorentext
I was born in Hinton, Alberta, Canada and raised in the rural area of Barrhead, Alberta, Canada. As a child, I loved to read, draw, ride her horse, write poems and short stories. I wanted to be an author at 5 years old! I studied Community Rehabilitation Services at Red Deer College, Red Deer, Alberta, Canada and finished my secondary schooling in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, after marrying my husband and moving to Calgary. I am a mom to four wonderful children, an Educational Assistant, volunteer with Girl Guides of Canada. I enjoy time with family, our dogs, leisure kayaking, leisure cycling, reading, camping, travelling and working on my Celtic art. I received the 2019 recipient of the Sovereign's Medal for Volunteers, mostly for my volunteer work in Guiding. (It is the highest honour for volunteer service that an individual can receive within the Canadian Honours System.) and have received other awards in volunteering through Guiding and photography. I have presented at workshops on various subjects and taught Celtic art workshops.
I still love to read, write and create whenever possible. This is my first chapter book, my first book (a picture book) "A Witch is a Witch...All the Time", I also illustrated.
