Books with author Brian James

This book was conceived, written, and illustrated by James Brian Jaeger when he was five years old because of his love for numbers. Each number has a short description of what that number is doing, along with an illustration depicting the action. If you have a child who is interested in numbers, writing, drawing, or just being creative, this book can serve as inspiration. The imagination of a child is quite powerful, and the Numbers Cool Book proves that young minds can do more than be babysat by an electronic device. Kids want to learn and express themselves, so let your kids experience this book and then write something themselves. All of the words are by James, though we did write down most of his thoughts because he could not write when he began composing the book, which took about six months to create.Whether your child loves counting or just needs practice, this is a great book to use. Maybe you want your kid to do more than sit back and become a passive recipient of videos. This is an interactive book because it encourages creativity. It's not written by someone famous or an adult who studied child psychology. Your kids will appreciate the honesty, but they'll also see the opportunity to join the conversation and begin their own masterpieces. Think about it: how many of you (who aren't authors) have written something more than 100 pages long? How many times have you hand-drawn something rather than copied and pasted it from the internet? Your kids want to do this kind of thing. Let them. Encourage them. Give them all the resources they need in order to love reading and writing and numbers and learning.The prices for the print version of this book are set by the retailer. We do not have a publisher keeping costs low. However, publishers want to reprint the same stories by the same authors over and over again. This story is totally new and unique on several levels, one being that it's a book written and illustrated (creatively) by a kid, but also that it's not just a rehashing of something else he read. That's what you should demand of the stories you read to your kids. One note: the Kindle version is for 1-100 and the print version goes all the way over 200. It's not some manipulative marketing idea; it's just what happened with limited time and resources. However, it may provide the sense of getting a good value for the print version.

A stirring tale of rousing old-fashioned adventure, THE DAGGER QUICK is the story of twelve-year-old Christopher, a boy with a clubfoot seemingly doomed to follow in the boring footsteps of his father as a cooper in 17th century England. That is, until he meets his uncle- William Quick, infamous pirate, and the only man ever crazy enough to steal from the infamous Governor of Jamaica. With his mother kidnapped, his father murdered, and Christopher unjustly blamed for the crime, he has no choice but to set off on a dangerous seafaring adventure with bounty hunters on his trail and his only ally an uncle he hardly knows.

Kitto’s adventure continues in the suspenseful sequel to The Dagger Quick, which School Library Journal called a “quest perfect for landlubbers and pirate aficionados alike.”On the high seas of the Caribbean in the 1600s, a twelve-year-old boy, Kitto, stands wrongly accused of his father’s murder and is forced into adulthood too quickly as he tries to prove his innocence. After a brutal shark attack, Kitto must take refuge on a forsaken island that holds a store of valuable nutmeg, with its power to make men as rich as kings. When he encounters the notorious Alexandre Exquemelin, known as X, he discovers a dark secret about his own past and identity. Will the events of Kitto’s past determine his fate, or will he have the courage to forge his own destiny? A tale of friends and fiends, good and evil, pirates and predators, and the thrill of the high seas, The Dagger X is an exciting adventure and classic story of the search for manhood and identity.
