Addison's Canadian Caper
Addison Anderson is a cheerful and clever girl who clinches a creative writing contest and earns a complimentary cross-country trip to Canada. When her family arrives in Calgary, she is eager to meet her Canadian challenger, who by complete coincidence, turns out to be her charismatic cousin, Corby Clemens.
As the Anderson and Clemens clans connect in their cozy Canadian cottage, calamity strikes! Clover, Corby’s cherished cat, mysteriously disappears. Determined to crack the case, Addison and Corby collaborate, chasing clues that point to a cunning Cat Burglar. Corby’s concern compels him to contact the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, confident that the Cat Burglar will soon be caught, or will he?
Addison’s Canadian Caper is a cheery story that celebrates the letter "c" while introducing new vocabulary words with brief definitions. Created for K–5 kids, this comical caper charms even younger children with its colorful characters and catchy language.
Addison Braves Brazil
Addison Anderson is a bighearted, bright-eyed, blissful, ten-year-old girl, who chews banana bubble gum, and breezes through life on her bicycle. With a bottomless backpack brimming with band-aids, and a borrowed book about the Brazilian rainforest, that soon begins to blur her bravado.
At the bustling Brasilia Airport, Addison banishes the books bad thoughts from her brain. The Anderson family is greeted by Barbara Brum, a bilingual student, who bridges the language barrier by translating for them. They bond with the Brums, explore Brasilia, and Addison bravely rescues Bart from a bully. Soon they take a bumpy bus ride to Bara Grande, where the Brum grandparents run a beachside Bed and Breakfast. Their adventure takes a baffling turn when a treasure map fails to lead them to bounty, but to a bizarre beast!
The day finally comes, and they begin their trek through the jungle. Addison tries to be brave but having read the borrowed book, thoughts of giant bugs and jungle beasts bubble in her brain. When they reach the bamboo bridge, Addison freezes. She has to cross to continue, but she simply cannot budge. Somehow, she must brush aside her fears and be bold, but can she?
Bravery begins with belief, but that is not always easy. Sometimes children need a boost, a bit of backup, a buddy to believe in them. With gentle guidance and bold encouragement, they will soon blossom into their bravest selves. Addison Braves Brazil also introduces new vocabulary words that begin with the letter "b," while providing brief definitions.
