3...2...1...take off!
On Saturday, July 9 I signed a contract with a hybrid book agency called Bryler Publications. If all goes according to schedule, come December my beginning chapter book, Lunar Lifter, will be officially published in time for Christmas sales.
The plot
Lunar Lifter is the story of a child’s ingenuity and resourcefulness when he unexpectedly finds himself rocketing through space in a cardboard box. On an otherwise uneventful summer day in Nova Scotia, a fridge is delivered to nine-year-old Cameron’s home. When his little sister, Erin, begins colouring on the discarded fridge box with new magic markers, Cameron reluctantly joins in. Soon Cameron gets caught up in the fun of transforming the box into the Lunar Lifter and outfitting it with everything necessary to travel to the moon. The kids are so absorbed in their task they hardly realize the box is jiggling...until the buttons and controls rise up, and the drawings came to life. They yell and desperately push on the box flaps but Cameron and Erin are trapped inside when the Lunar Lifter blasts off their front lawn and the controls they drew become real.
