My Favorite Word in a Bottle: An Adventure Story by Dr.G

Every adventure requires a first step.
Emma did not know where all her early morning ideas came from. Her mother said it was because she was seven years old and filled with interestingness.


How does anybody know if outrageous ideas can't happen if they have never tried?


On that early Saturday morning, although Emma's morning idea was simple, it was also outrageous. Her idea was simple because of what she needed to do - decide on her favorite word, write the word on a piece of paper, place the paper in a bottle, and let the bottle float away into the mighty ocean. Emma's idea was outrageous because the ocean would carry the bottle on a magical journey, during which special young people who discovered the bottle would add their very own favorite words and, perhaps, - maybe, probably, finally, - the bottle would return to Emma's island.


Follow the bottle as it navigates unforeseen obstacles and is discovered in exotic far-off places by some very special young children.


Will the bottle survive the magical journey? Might the bottle be captured by a ruthless pirate, swallowed by a gigantic whale, or crushed by a talking polar bear? What if the young people who discover the bottle do not dare to return the bottle to the mighty ocean?


A magical journey of words.


The examples of positive character traits (adventure, creativity, resilience, integrity, empathy etc.), will resonate with young readers/listeners who are navigating their very own mightily curious life journey.


- Suitable for young independent readers.
- The perfect adventure story for adult directed bedtime reading.
