Bradley's Odyssey

Ten years ago Apple Island, or the Truth About Teachers was published.  In that book Bradley Zimmerman and his class were take to Apple Island, a land where only crabby teacher dwelled. Bradley had to rescue his classmates from the teachers and save the world from Operation Misteach.  I'm please that this book is still popular today, and after many requests, I've written a sequel to it in ebook form entitled Bradley's Odyssey.  The crabby teachers are at it again and have stolen the Thinking Cap, the ultimate source of all knowledge, from the Gods of Education.  Now Bradley must take a far more daring journey and try to retrieve this sacred hat.

The Elevator Family Hits the Road
Since its publication ten years ago, The Elevator Family has become a easy chapter-book classic.  It was published in Japanese and French and the second edition paperback has recently came out.  The Elevator Family play has also been produced in theaters around the country.
After numerous requests from children, I have written a series of sequels to be published as ebooks.  In future books, the Wilsons stay in a tollbooth, in a fire lookout tower, in a baseball dugout, and in a New York department store display window.
