Description by Author:
A fun filled tale about a boy with a bad case
of the fidgets and his disastrous attempts to control them until the principal
steps in with a little help. For all kids with busy bodies.
About
the Author:
I was born
and raised in Calgary, Alberta Canada where I still reside. I grew up working
at the racetrack with my fathers horses.
It has long
been my dream to start a small press focusing simultaneously on books for
children struggling with behavioural/complex needs issues and adult and YA
fantasy.
I have been
writing for as long as I can remember and working with children dealing with
behavioural issues for over a decade. It seemed appropriate to combine my two
passions, children and writing. To this end I began Burroughs Manor Press and
the website www.solvingbehaviour.com.
I have a deep
love of anything fantasy and am an avid reader. I have read Lord of the Rings
over a hundred times in my life.
