Take a Reading Adventure
Like my mother and youngest brother, I always want a book to read. My favorite time to read is early morning. I get comfortable in the Lazy Boy, have a cup of coffee at my side,, and jump into the current adventure. Lately I've been reading books about pioneer adventures because I'm doing research on my great grandmother's pioneer adventures throughout Kansas and Nebraska. I've read several Sandra Dallas books, various fiction and nonfiction NE books, and Giants in the Earth which is placed in the Dakota Territory. Why am I reading these books? Because I want to write about my great grandmother's adventures. In Backyard Adventures, the cats, ferret, and humans all have adventures. I included the allusion to Frankenstein and Houdini to provide still a different type of escape adventure if readers were interested.
Book Excerpt
Little Honker's Backyard Adventures
“Why did you call him Frankenstein?” Kaycee asked.
“Because it seemed like he was always trying to create something new in the house. He’s a bit of an inventor,” she said. “And, sometimes I think he’s a little bit of a monster. I love him but he is always creating situations that surprise me,” Mary said.
“Well, it looks like Frankie and Honker will be a good team. Honker is always up for something new,” Kari said.
“Two Siamese creatures seeking something new? Hold on neighborhood! You all might be in for a big surprise,” Kris said.
“I agree,” Kaycee said as she leaned down to pick up Fanta.
Mary was still holding Frankie as Kris reached over to pick up Little Honker. “What do you think, Honker? Are our new neighbors going to provide more new adventures for us?”
Little Honker was focused on Fanta and Frankie. The trio’s eyes were locked. There seemed to be instant bonding and before Mary, Kaycee, or Kris knew it, the four-legged gang jumped from their humans’ arms and were off together.
“There goes the Trio of Trouble!” Garret and Sheridan said at once.
