The Wandering Adventures at Hobart Mill by Dustin C. Kinard is an enthralling adventure for children, following an eleven-year-old boy, Malachi Halladay, who wishes to be like his parents, brave world travelers. Malachi just lost his parents in a plane crash and must move from New York to Tasmania to live in a tiny house with his great-grandmother. One day, while exploring the forest near the house, he befriends a young Tasmanian devil. Shortly after, when Tasmania begins to feel more and more like home, Malachi stumbles upon an abandoned, large, old, mysterious mill. More curious than ever, when he ventures closer, he discovers that some magical, musical creatures live at Hobart Mill. Without even realizing it, he and the creatures are magically transported to a foreign land where their lifelong adventure together is just beginning.
The Wandering Adventures at Hobart Mill is a gorgeously written tale, filled with action, adventure, life lessons, wonderful illustrations, and inspiring characters. Dustin C. Kinard's debut middle-grade adventure is more about the journey than the destination, and the legends, folklore, and mythology that come to life. This compelling story invites young readers to be curious, brave, and adventurous and explore new things, places, and cultures. It reminds them that not everyone is bad, and sometimes they should give someone a chance. You can join Malachi, his trusty Tasmanian devil sidekick, and the Bogos on an extraordinary adventure where you'll meet a giant, a serpent with five heads, a sharkman, a prehistoric turtle, and more. This story is for anyone with an adventurous spirit.
