It has a bit of everything; family, friendship, action, suspense, laugh-out-loud wit, fight scenes, racing cars and more. ” Reader of The Trespasser’s Unexpected Adventure “This is a great story. The best part are the fresh likeable characters - led by the one-of-a-kind quirky 11 year old girl Meeka and her friend, brave, troubled 13 year old Logan. The conversations between Meeka, Logan and their friends make you feel like you're standing in the room with them. The plot is exciting and fast paced with modern smugglers. I like that some of the teenagers follow martial arts and can stand up for themselves with the villains.” Reader of The Trespasser’s Unexpected AdventureOther Readers say:This adventurous kids story had me hooked from the very beginning… It was more exciting than some of the adult fiction I usually read.
