I finally completed a draft for a new chapter book, THE NINJA COUSINS. This book tells of the adventures of four boys (named after my grandsons, of course) who find a strange gadget in the reeds around the lake near their Grammy’s and Popi’s house. This gadget looks like it came from outer space, and it has a screen with the words “Where do you want to go?”. Of course, the boys can’t resist responding “To see ninjas,” and off they go, twirling through time and space to medieval Japan.
My oldest grandson Scott, nine, is the illustrator, following in his older sister Karina’s footsteps. He is off to a good start with his first two drawings, with many more to come. Watch for this to be published in the coming year.
