Writing from Calgary, Alberta, this mother-daughter team is committed to bringing adventures to elementary school. The MELINDA series features books suitable for grades 3-6, ages 7-12. Short chapters encourage reading ""just a little more,"" and a large vocabulary keeps things interesting. Every MELINDA book centers around a safe, wholesome adventure where Melinda must use the tools and skills she has previously developed to fix the problem. NO catty girl drama NO boy-crazy idolizing NO children being forced to do adult jobs Clean. Safe. Fun. *Please note. There are STRONG themes of inclusiveness throughout this series. Melinda herself is modelled after an autistic child, and her companion Teensie, the talking goldfish, requires that his environment travel with him, while he relies on the people around him to allow him to access the world. As a society, we push disabled and differently-abled people into the shadows. In MELINDA, these people shine and are valued members of their families and communities. www.PorscheRay.com
