Produktbeschreibung

Do your kids LOVE adventure stories?

Do they want to explore new lands?

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 that shaped the world we live in today receive help from three young cousins.

Amelia, Dave, and Luther are back for another adventure to the past, this time with higher stakes! When they go snooping in Grandpa Joe's office at the museum they find his sundial again. It drops them in ancient China...during a power struggle for the fate of an empire!

They make new friends, Princess Coco, taken from her family when she was only a girl, and her orphaned servant, Mei. Coco must travel across the world to marry a man she's never met and Mei is about to be thrown out on the streets, alone. Behind all this is the cruel Empress Nambu, who has control of the palace guards and a pen full of tigers that she's ready to set loose on anyone who crosses her!

Can the cousins find a way to help protect both Coco and Mei, or will they all fall into the clutches of new enemies?

Join Amelia, Dave, Luther and Vivien, their cousin from out of town, in the second Sundial Odyssey, The Merchant's Princess, a family friendly adventure exploring culture through history by C.L. Van Liew.

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.
