Lunar Lifter Blasts Off!
Bryler Publishing
April 2012

 My early chapter adventure novel for middle readers (57 pages) hit number 1 on the Nova Scotia bestseller list! Lunar Lifter is the story of two children’s ingenuity and resourcefulness when they unexpectedly find themselves rocketing through space in a cardboard refrigerator box. Suddenly on the moon and faced with a series of problems to overcome, the siblings must rely on their imagination and new friends to find a way home.

You can order copies now at Chapters/Indigo or Bryler Publications web site, or find it in select bookstores (please ask your local book sellers to carry it if they're not already). Contact me if you'd like to review a copy, or to book me for a signing or classroom visit.

"Refreshing, funny. A celebration of imagination and childhood creativity. Lunar Lifter is an adventure story that will catapult readers into the wild outer and inner space journey of a nine year old Bluenoser; a young storyteller I want to hear from again."—Sheree Fitch, author of Pluto's Ghost.
