When the woodland surrounding Peter's house goes silent one night, troubled thoughts and dreams take hold. No more chirping. No croaking. No buzzing. Not even a cricket. Can there be anything more upsetting than a misplaced sound? Some say the entire growing season may be brought to an equally sudden end. Peter Phye and his only friend, Dillon Hopper, strike out on a mission for the Queen of the Night. Together they begin a quest to restore the music, across the Sea of Queen Anne's Lace to the Deepest Forest, filled with ogres and bugaboos and all the foulest imaginable things, so that when they're done they might set things right again. And when it is done, Peter finds that adventures, just like seasons of green grass and blue skies, are only fleeting. But what he never imagined was he'd find an eternity within that passing moment . . .

For young authors and artists who have grown beyond classic My Adventures, these early reader / chapter books are intended for children ages eight to eleven. The familiar blanks in the story are still there, as are periodic open spaces for artwork, but now the topics are more detailed, the stories longer and the ideas more vast and varied. Just as classic My Adventures gave a child the feeling of publishing their own picture book, older creators will be inspired to hold their own real book in their hands. Is there a future novelist or scholar in your household? Let Advanced My Adventures help you find out. Summer camp can be full of knotty problems--hard sports, strange activities, weird food. But you can untangle the challenges presented on the soccer field, in the craft pavilion, at the horse barn and on the water, as long as you bring along your imagination, your persistence and your favorite pencil. You add the details to make this camp adventure your very own.
