“I use it in conjunction with the world geography unit I teach to my fifth graders. They love it.”
“Students end up learning a lot about continents, oceans, countries, mean of transportation, and time zones. Plus, it’s a great story.”
“After my fifth grade read MVP: Magellan Project, my students made bucket lists about places they wanted to visit. This book sparked a lot of interest about traveling.”
“The MVP: Magellan Voyage Project multi-subject study guide that Douglas Evans supplies is very helpful and free.”
“MVP: Magellan Voyage Project was the most popular book by far that my sixth graders read last year. Hope for a sequel and a movie!”
“Adam Story, a twelve year old boy, tries to travel around the world solo in forty days. There’s been no book like this since Jules Verne.”

An e-book without a solitary e in it!
A financial crisis! Cut costs! With dough running low and programs costing too much at his school, Principal Ouia insists that his staff and pupils must stop using that most popular non-consonant that follows d and is prior to f. That common writing symbol was also cut from this book!

Bedbugs e-book
Bedbugs is ready for download on Amazon!
“Only a bedbug knows, what goes on while you doze.”
That's the motto of the three bedbugs who live in Irene’s four-poster bed. One night, when the moon is particularly bright, Irene meets this helpful trio, who tell her about her nighttime visitors--the Sandman, the Tooth Fairy, the Nice Dream Man, Night Mare, and the Boogeyman--and how the bedbugs protect her from the mayhem, mischief, and mishaps that can happen while she sleeps.
