Burkley and the Beasts: The Sea Serpent

This book was very fun to read - Burkley is a delightful character with such a unique personality! I chuckled at her food color preferences, and love her brave attitude in the face of outrageous adventures. As soon as I read it, I passed it along to my son, and the promise of sea serpents and adventure was enough to draw him in! He really enjoyed it too." (Shari P. - Amazon book reviewer)

Burkley Brooks doesn't mind being a bit different. She named her pet boa constrictor Stella, even though it's a boy. She won’t eat yellow food, but must have something red on her plate. And she's fine with her nickname - Quirky Burkley. However, none of it's as weird as the strange things she's been seeing lately...such as snake tongues stealing bananas and reaching at her from inside the kitchen sink!

Thankfully, her Grandma Brooks is there to explain these visions. Burkley has been chosen as the next Brooks to inherit the beautiful Heartstone, the key to a mystical Portal. Through the Portal lies a mysterious place called Mermaid's Lagoon, where Burkley's Grandpa Brooks and Uncle Charlie disappeared years ago. The first step to finding and rescuing them is a battle with a huge, fierce Sea Serpent! With a magical trident in her hands and her best friends at her side, will Burkley save the day?

Adventure, magic and the power of family! Early readers of ages 7-10 will love jumping into this book and going through the mystical Portal with Quirky Burkley and her brave friends.
