Produktbeschreibung

Do your kids love adventure stories?

Do they want to explore new cultures?

Are you looking for something you know is family-friendly?

Then you'll love The Sundial Odysseys...

Similar to books like I Survived, A to Z Mysteries, and The Magic Treehouse, The Sundial Odysseys take you on quirky adventures through the past, where historical figures who shaped the world we live in today receive help from three young cousins.

Amelia, Dave, and Luther's grandfather is the world's most famous explorer; and the kids are about to find out why. When they knock over his antique sundial one afternoon, they're suddenly transported to the other side of the world…and 3,000 years into the past!

They find themselves in a dangerous and strange world. Everyone carries a spear, and dresses in bed sheets; there are enemies at every turn. No one can tell them how they got there, or how to get back. Soon they're accused of being spies and taken captive. To make matters worse, the sundial is now counting down their time left, and that it's running out fast.

Can the kids figure out how to get back home, or will they be trapped in the past?

Join Amelia, Dave, and Luther in the first Sundial Odyssey, The Desert Queen, a family friendly adventure exploring cultures through history.

Autorenporträt

As the great-great-grand nephew of P.T. Barnum, C.L. Van Liew tries to keep a low profile.

So far, it's not going well. It all started with that time he flew a plane over the Mozambiquan border, right into the middle of a civil war. Once there he took up competitive pepper eating and learned how to corral pigs. Later, things got really wild that time he got stuck in a cave in China that was supposed to grant anyone who entered with a hundred years of life.

And then he turned ten.

It was all downhill from there. Visits from the FBI, rock climbing the Tunisian Colosseum, and saving the lives of multiple children (mostly his own), C.L. Van Liew just can't keep his head down. Then for some reason a narrator started following him around, writing everything about him down in the third person.

He decided he'd had enough. So he settled down and became an author...

...Sort of...

When he's not pounding away on his keyboard for stories, he's working with his wife as a consultant building out business process improvement systems, travelling worldwide, and writing marketing content.

He currently splits his time between his home in the northwest suburbs of Chicago and a hamlet in the foothills of the Italian Alps.
