About the Book

Title:  Jake's Adventures 'The Secret of the Shark Tooth Crab Claw Author: Melissa Perry Moraja | Publication Date: May 5, 2014 | Publisher: Melissa Productions

It’s school vacation and Jake heads to the beach with his family, ready to explore the ocean. But not before his parents review the 'rules'. But that’s the least of his worries.

When a surfer dude shares that a mysterious sea creature has been caught in a fishing net, Jake sets out to rescue it! But in order for Jake to do that he has to include his annoying brother and tattletaling sister in his secret plan.

Will Jake rescue the trapped sea creature? Will Jake’s younger twin siblings reveal his secret plan? Or will there be more 'rules' that put a damper on Jake’s Adventures?

This is a funny, modern-fantasy adventure children's chapter book targeted to children ages 6 - 12 years old. It's a fun read for both boys and girls.

About Jake Wunderkind and His Super Wunderkind Ability:

Jake is the oldest and smartest Wunderkind sibling. He can make any thingamajig out of anything. Wait till you find out what he conjured up in The Secret of the Shark Tooth Crab Claw. It was pretty genius! The only thing about being the oldest is that Jake is supposed to be the most responsible and follow all the rules. And boy, his parents love rules. Jake's superhuman Wunderkind ability is that he remembers everything he reads and sees; and he has a really weird connection with marine life and plants. When you read The Secret of the Shark Tooth Crab Claw, you'll understand what I mean.

Enter Melissa Productions October Children's Chapter Book Giveaway

 

I'm excited to be giving away one of the sweetest, funniest Wunderkind Family children's books - Madison and GA (My Guardian Angel): The Tale of the Slimy Spitball, one month before Madison and GA's next story - Tale of the Messed Up Talent Show- is available for sale!

This comically illustrated, modern-fantasy children's chapter book is the second book in the Wunderkind Family children's chapter book series.

Madison and GA (My Guardian Angel) stories teach children that they don't have to be perfect. Even Madison's guardian angel isn't. Every story will share at least one learning lesson such as bullying, friendship, and responsibility. In Madison and GA (My Guardian Angel): The Tale of the Slimy Spitball, Madison once again gets blamed for something she didn't do, a common theme that keeps popping up in her life.

Since Madison was born, her guardian angel has been right by her side, spilling her milk and doing silly kid-stuff. But now that Madison is ten years old, her parents and teachers think it’s time for her to start acting like a big girl, which means she needs to stop blaming her imaginary friend for everything that goes wrong. And that is exactly what Madison has been trying to do. But what everyone doesn’t know is Madison’s imaginary friend is a real life sassy, childish (yet very loyal and loving) guardian angel named GA. GA's job is to protect Madison and teach her important stuff so she can earn feathers for her wings and one day fly. Not simple for an angel who seems to always be misplacing her halo and getting herself into mischief, leaving Madison to take the blame.

In the Tale of the Slimy Spitball, Madison finds herself in the principal's office again. This time she's being accused of spitting a slimy spitball at this kid Zach on the school bus. Find out who really spit the spitball? Will GA earn a feather for her wings? Or will Madison take the blame again?

The Wunderkind Family series is a collection of humorous, modern-fantasy stories, each told by one of the four whimsical Wunderkind sibling characters, about what it’s like growing up as a kid with extraordinary abilities in the small town of Boring Brook. (Target age: 6 – 12 years old)

This giveaway is open to USA and International entrants. (I'm able to send an autographed copy to USA entrants, but at the present time, not able to do the same for International entrants).

The Wunderkind's are an extraordinary gifted family, and Jake, the oldest son, is the scifi-inventive genius. He can make a thingamijig out of anything.

In this story, Jake is doing what he loves to do best-exploring and playing outside. As he's picking up rocks, he discovers a dozen slimy gooey worms, captures them and then hides them in a secret place in his bedroom, so his twin brother and sister can’t free them. But when the worms transform into a dozen buzzing pesty flies, Jake's adventure begins. Find out if Jake rid’s his home from being invaded by the pesty flies, and if he’s able to rescue his dad from their beady stares?
