Several years ago, we struggled to find suitable modern books for our preteen son. Sure, there were picture books and cartoonish books but there was little of interest for a boy at an appropriately stretching reading level. And to this day, the challenge continues with agenda-driven and dumbed-down books. After experimenting with short stories, I wrote the first two episodes in the Sean Yeager Adventures series. My aim being to write exciting, action-packed stories that built a solid foundation of vocabulary while speaking up to the reader. In other words, more complicated stories told in an easy to understand movie style that refer to real science and history along the way. In effect, to draw in the reader without them noticing. Several years later, I added a third and fourth episode and made improvements to the series guided by a group of excited young readers.
If you are looking for a fast-paced, easy read that asks questions of the reader, sample a free Sean Yeager Adventures e-book on Amazon. Each episode is self-contained and builds on earlier stories. Set in England, USA, and elsewhere, Sean and Emily encounter spies and agents in their quest to save their homes and loved ones from a ruthless enemy. Of course, nothing quite goes according to plan, and the adults involved don’t always help matters. Suffice to say, Sean and Emily often need to step up and save the day.
Welcome to world of Sean Yeager Adventures, a labour of love ten years in the making.
