I would like to introduce to you, Cher'ley Grogg. She has written a children's novel,
The Secret in Grandma's Trunk and today through Wednesday you can download it for free on Amazon.
I’m so glad to have this
opportunity to share a little about myself and my children’s novel “The Secret
in Grandma’s Trunk”, which is free to download from Amazon for a limited time. The inspiration for the book came from my
grandsons. I have three grandsons and a granddaughter. My granddaughter loves
to read, but the boys do not, so I decided to write a book they would love to
read. I knew it would have to have strong kids in it, strong physically and head
strong too. The characters would all
have to be realistic with problems and scuffles among themselves, it would have
to be fast paced and full of adventure.
Plus my grandsons like sports and girls so I needed to put that in there
as well. I could not leave my granddaughter without someone to relate to, so I
gave the brothers in the story a female cousin who could keep up with them in
most things and top them in other things. In addition to the children, there
are some strong, funny and interesting adult characters. This book appeals to
people of all ages.
The
main character in “The Secret in Grandma’s Trunk”, Brandon is not quiet. He’s
very outgoing and loud. He’s a leader and his outgoing boisterous personality
works well for him, but not listening also gets him into a lot of trouble.
Jordan, his cousin, is a female version of Brandon, but Jacob, his brother, is the
opposite. He’s a quiet listener and a thinker. The 13 year olds get in a passel of
trouble because of not listening, and Jacob quietly follows them.
Here’s the Blurb: A teen's life disrupts when his
Great-Grandmother, a stranger, comes to live with him and his family. She upsets
his life so much that he stoops pretty low to get rid of her, including trying
to find a way to get into the over-sized trunk she has stored in his garage.
Spunky Grandma keeps the key in a special place.
The kids expect treasure, but discover a terrible secret instead, which
puts Grandma in danger’s way. Will she turn to her grandchildren for help or to
a young ghost?
This is an excerpt from Chapter Fourteen:
Jacob looked astounded. "How in the world
did you pull that off?"
"A girl has to have stuff." She grinned. "You know girl's
stuff."
"No, we don't know,
and we don't want to know. The important thing is you got the card."
Brandon reached for the credit card.
"I want to know," Jacob said.
"Believe me, you don't want to know," Jordan laughed as
she handed the card to Brandon. "Hurry up. I need to get Dad's card back
to him before Mom's out of the shower."
In the next chapter, the kids
went to play soccer. Grandma went with them. Here’s an excerpt from Chapter 15:
Lilly turned to Grandma. "It doesn't matter
what she thinks, she's not on our team. I don't know why the coach favors
Jordan. Maybe he feels sorry for her. She's so big and clunky."
Grandma's eyes flashed, and her little fist doubled up. Brandon
hoped she wouldn't spit. He put his hand on Grandma's shoulder. "Let's
go."
"I'll
go, but I want her to know that Jordan sure is big. She has a big heart,
and a big personality, and she's twice the lady that girl is. She would never
put someone else down to try to make herself look better."
"I don't need to put her down to make
myself look better. I always look good."
Grandma turned her head and spit.
“The Secret in Grandma’s Trunk” is free on Amazon for a limited time; I hope you will enjoy
