It's funny how one little letter can
change a person's life. Jax and his friends have been planning the
summer of a lifetime at Camp Runamuck. However, when one of them is
facing summer at a school desk for failing English, they watch those
plans crash and burn!
At the last moment they're given a way
out.
An extra credit assignment to find
several fake artifacts for a fairy tale display their teacher is
presenting at the local library.
Thinking they've hit the
easiest-extra-credit-ever jackpot, they begin rummaging through any
piles of junk they can find. As they start putting the clues
together, they realize that what they're really searching for is one
authentic artifact that can rewrite fairy tales!
Enlisting the aid of the Lost Boys, Jax
and his friends battle fairy tale villains to see who can get their
hand, or their hook, on it first.

Imagining
the Dream Cast for one of my stories has always been very intriguing
but unfortunately I think that’s best left to readers of YA, NA, or
Adult. Because my characters in ARTIFACTS are written to closely
resemble the interaction between 2, 3, 4 or 5 kids all around the
same age, I think my readers tend to imagine themselves in various
roles and their friends filling out the rest of the “cast”.
Every
group of friends in Middle School has one of their own that could be
a specific character. The dialogue, the humor, and the hysterical
sarcasm that is the trademark of middle school wit thrives in the
pages of ARTIFACTS as well as the other books I’ve written. But
along with that is the camaraderie. That’s why ARTIFACTS is so hard
to put down or stop reading because it includes the things that my
readers go through every day but allows them to finally band together
and do something about it.
The
idea of “no man left behind” is prevalent in my readers. They’ve
all been in an unlikeable situation in school but have had the
opportunity to rely on their friends to help them out. And in these
stories if the MC finds himself on the outside looking in or without
someone who will step up and have their back . . . they won’t be
like that for long.
As far as a playlist the
characters heads are so filled with how they’re going to get out of
a temporary terrible situation and on to summer camp where they will
have the best time of their lives.
