Things are popping at Silver Finch Press. Very soon I’ll have a stand-alone YA novel to celebrate, however, right now, I’d love to introduce you to the humorous, middle grade, fantasy novel, The Adventures of Somebody, by debut author, Emily Kay Griebenow.
Fairy tales have Prince Charming.
This story has Somebody.
And Everybody.
Setting off on their sort-of-noble quest, the two heroes encounter dangers beyond all belief and perils beyond all probability. Plus, they confront some really disgusting stuff, including slimy gunk, the Great Glob of Pride, and even—gasp—true love! Laugh-out-loud moments will keep readers turning pages long past bedtime.
Fast-paced and bursting with clever wordplay, this fantasy adventure is perfect for readers ages 9–13 (and adults looking to giggle). If Abbott and Costello wrote Monty Python and the Holy Grail for kids, it might look something like this.
Who is the author, Emily Kay Griebenow?
As a field specialist, Emily Kay Griebenow led groups of struggling 18-28 year olds through backcountry adventure activities. Now as a WEMT and Wilderness Medical Instructor, she teaches fast paced courses in wilderness first aid to adult learners, empowering them to get outside while keeping their friends and family members safe.
Emily is a passionate creator of resources and communities to connect people through story. She also hikes, reads, writes, gardens, and DMs some excellent D&D adventures, (acclaimed critically).
I’ve had my eye on this manuscript for years, and it recently came available for publication. Get ready to snicker, whether you are an adult or middle grade reader. Griebenow’s debut will delight!
After you finish the novel, you can join me in eagerly waiting for her next release. Only Dude, The Prophet, has an inkling of when that might be, so for now: relish, laugh outright, reread, and share The Adventures of Somebody with everybody! Then rate and review. It really helps!
