Something's in the Forest

The book is a collection of nine short stories for "tweens", 8-15 year-olds. Readers will be catapulted into worlds and situations that are strange, curious, frightening, and sometimes dangerous. They can be facing a hoard of hooded marauders in the Sahara Desert, witnessing a ghost-child during an auto accident, or trying to live in a inhospitable orphanage where their name has been replaced by a number. The reader could be hurtling down off a cliff and get rescued by a mammoth-sized eagle, able to perform magic in its most purest form, or step through a mirror into reversed world. They can travel with a wizard in a quest to stop a vengeful sorcerer, time-travel to the Old West to get away from two evil co-workers from the future, or even be given a second chance at life after dying and going to Heaven! The stories are imaginative, unusual, and best of all...FUN TO READ!
