The HeART of Loyal Sidekicks
You may have heard that I have a new book coming out in October. The Barbary Chronicles : The Lost Prince, published with Charlesbridge Moves. No one plays the game like Jack London. Only eleven years old, she can pickpocket and flummox any unsuspecting rube who wanders into the muck of the Barbary Coast. Jack may be little, but she's clever and bold. With the help of a devoted stray dog, a kidnapped prince, and the scummiest ex-best friend ever, she'll do everything she can to save her found family. At the heart of Jack’s story are the loyal sidekicks, including her dog Alaska. From an advanced review by Publisher’s Weekly : “… memorably rendered supporting characters and themes of loyalty, found family, and resilience give the story emotional depth.” Every great character is made all the more great because of the heart of a loyal sidekick. Frodo can’t do what he needs to do without Samwise Gamgee’s steadfast loyalty and enduring goodness in Tolkien...
