Barney and the Runaway for Review

Barney and the Runaway for Review .



ATTN Book Reviewers:

I grew up hating to read. Now I write action-adventures & mysteries especially for boys 8 – 13, that girls like reading too.


Comfort Publishing will re-release my first 7 books along with the new title, Barney and the Runaway. I don't have a release date as yet, but the book is in production now.


Synopsis_________________________________


Barney and the Runaway


Author: Max Elliot Anderson


Audience: 8 – 13; especially boys


Barney and the Runaway tells the story of Michael Ellis, who has recently told his parents to start calling him Mike from now on. He especially hated the way they were always telling him what to do. Mike decides to teach his parents a lesson by pretending to run away for a day with his dog Barney.


The plan of running away gets a bit more complicated than planned when Mike and Barney hide in a railroad boxcar, fall asleep, and end up in Georgia with a circus in the middle of the night. Luckily for the runaways, Big Bob the Clown takes Mike and Barney to safety in his wagon. Mike decides that living and performing with the circus might be a good idea until Big Bob opens Mike’s eyes to his unfortunate past.


Mike’s encounter with this grown up runaway, in the circus, helps him to understand that his parents truly love him. Then Mike and Barney save the circus. Through it all, Mike learns the importance of family.


Parents often punish their children, but only because they love and want what is best for them, not because they don’t care. Even though the life of a circus performer with a circus family may appear fun, if given a choice, most would agree that living in a warm home with loving, caring parents is the preferred choice. As the saying goes, “You don’t know what you’ve got until it’s gone.” After Mike overhears some unsettling news and both he and Barney are involved in a scary and dangerous crime, Mike learns his lesson before it’s too late.


So here are my questions. Are you interested in reviewing Barney and the Runaway, and in what form do you like to receive your review copies? This could include the manuscript, an electronic file of the manuscript, galleys, an electronic copy of the galleys, or to wait until the published book is available. I’m assembling my reviewer list now and will be in touch again when everything is ready.
