What Readers Are Saying About Karen’s English Story Books:

This is a great kid’s book. It is different from some other middle grade adventure books as the characters are as strong as the plot. The characters are fresh and well developed. ~David Lloyd

This adventurous kid’s book had me hooked from the very beginning and I really didn’t want to put it down. It was more exciting than some of the adult fiction I usually read. I certainly plan to read it to my class this year! ~ Marion Kirby

What a feel good, great read! It has a bit of everything; family, friendship, action, suspense, laugh-out-loud wit, fight scenes, racing cars and more. The story is believable and heart-warming. ~Mike Jansen

I tossed aside a 5 book series which was highly recommended, excellent plot, world building etc, and grabbed this one out of curiosity. Fun Fun Fun! No spoilers here. I thoroughly enjoyed every moment. ~ Amazon Customer

About Karen

I’ve always enjoyed stories and books. I loved to read curled up on my favourite chair by the window when I was a child. When my two children were young, I home-schooled them, and the best time of day was always story-time. Nowadays, I like to write kid’s books that capture the fun of family and friendship mixed with a good mystery that keeps the reader guessing. I live in New Zealand, near the beach, with my husband and like all good authors, I have a pet (actually I have two: my cats, Louie my gardening buddy, and my three-legged fluffball, Mikey). If you would like to keep up-to-date with my kid’s books news (and my cat news), please subscribe to my newsletter here. And if like me, you enjoy a good puzzle, make the most of my puzzle pages here.
