Darkness
-utter blackness. Was this why his mother had refused to let Jack
unlock his father’s old trunk? It had been two years since his dad had
died, and all Jack could think about was examining whatever treasures
were stored inside the beloved trunk. But when he finally lifted the
lid, he didn’t just fall in-he fell through it into a pit of
rattlesnakes!
Trying
to recall his mother’s stories about the Breath of All Good Things –
anything to help him out of his dangerous predicament – Jack wished he
had paid attention rather than mock the tales as childish myths… and
that he’d waited to enter the trunk with his sister, Lilly. They could
at least face this together.
“…
a breathy and fantastical storytelling style, imaginations will
flourish and the tale will be enjoyed by kids ages 8-12 who enjoy the
genre of fantasy.”—The Children’s Book Review
Wishapick: Tickety Boo and the Black Trunk is available on Amazon.
