Fletcher McKenzie and the Curse of Snow Falls

The pandemic is over. Life could not be better. But when Uncle Woodrow told Fletcher McKenzie the story of Mollyockett, he unfortunately overlooked the powerful Curse of Snow Falls — a curse that Fletcher now has to deal with.

Mollyockett was a Native American doctress who roamed Maine during colonial times. She is now the keeper of a spectacular world called Whole and protector of the McKenzie family. In the eighteenth century, Mollyockett took steps to protect the world of Whole, while her evil brother, Tomhegan, created havoc in his bid to kill as many settlers as he could.

Just as Maine recovered from the pandemic, a series of bizarre and violent events took place, including the disappearance and presumed deaths of several innocent people. Fletcher and Uncle Woodrow are shocked when they put together the pieces of the puzzle and determine that these horrific events had been caused by Tomhegan and his evil associates as part of their effort to eliminate the entire McKenzie family and take control of the secret passage to the world called Whole.

Tomhegan and his co-conspirators transformed the innocent victims who disappeared after the pandemic into violent moose-like warriors. They become a savage army of Slaughter Makers, ready for an attack on Whole. Fletcher and Mollyockett bring in others to help and there is a mighty confrontation between the two sides.

"Fletcher McKenzie and the Curse of Snow Falls" was written with the help of students in the Author Studies Program at the Farwell Elementary School (Lewiston, Maine). They added the element of a world-wide pandemic so that the book gives readers excitement, vividly funny characters, healthy eating, Covid19 exhaustion, magical journeys, confusing and strange adventures, danger, and closure. The publication of the book was made possible with a grant from the Stephen and Tabatha King Foundation.
