Books with author David R. Smith

This is a book to be read aloud to under 5 year olds. I wrote it because I was reading a lot of similar things to my children. It has a message but I chose the theme because I wanted a twist and my children loved monsters and things that were yucky. I wrote it to appeal to the kind of parent or child that enjoys the gruffalo or the Very Hungry Caterpillar.

Charlotte “Charlie” Flanagan wasn’t expecting fourth grade to end up like this. In fact, it was her worst nightmare come true. Of all the kids in the world, why did Billy Blake have to come back to her school? Charlie still remembers what happened on the second grade field trip to the zoo, and she has never forgiven Billy. With her life turned upside down, Charlie and her best friend Lucy plan to get Billy kicked out of school. But as their hilarious plot starts to unfold and the unexpected happens, she begins to regret ever thinking that this school isn't big enough for the both of them.

Just one thing keeps Bucky Stone from being the most popular guy at Hampton Beach High. He excels in sports – hoops and baseball both. He’s tall, well-built, drop-dead hot-looking, with a cute girlfriend and straight A’s. He likes to tease and has a great sense of humor.The one challenge? Bucky is a new born-again Christian, trying to live for Jesus on a very secular high school campus. He’s got his eye on Lisa, who doesn’t know a thing about his “rules of the road” for following Jesus. He’d like to get into JV baseball, a rough-and-tumble atmosphere for sure. And his enthusiasm for the kingdom of God has fellow students and teachers saying: “What is it with that guy, anyway?”Book #1, Making Waves at Hampton Beach High, sends Bucky and his best friend to the high-altitude ski slopes of Tahoe where a thrilling but treacherous adventure awaits them.
