If you enjoy Hank the Cowdog, The Chronicles of Narnia, and the stories of Redwall, then you shouldn’t overlook The Lost Chick, the initial installment of The Adventures of Bo and Mr. Quillery series, comprised of twelve kids’ fantasy chapter books.

This series is written for young readers grades 1st-4th. Available in print, audiobook, and e-book format.

Johnston's The Adventures of Bo and Mr. Quillery, with its clean, wholesome setting and an emphasis on traditional values, is the kind of series that once defined early childhood reading but has long been missing. The significance of chapter books—which fall somewhere between picture books and full-length novels—lies in their ability to stir creative thinking in children, shaping their imaginations to solve problems tomorrow and build worlds themselves.Each generation has its defining series, and years from now, some of the brightest, most imaginative thinkers will look back and say, "It all started with Bo and Mr. Quillery." This is the beginning of something special—a dust-kicking, trailblazing triumph that is as virtuous as it is wildly entertaining. The Adventures of Bo and Mr. Quillery, by Andrew K. Johnston and illustrated by Leo Hartas, will define generations to come. Highly recommended. -Heirloom Book Club

About the Author: Wayne Cripps is an Australian author and fourth-generation commercial fisher, born in 1959 in the quaint country town of Toora, Victoria. His family's fishing roots trace back to the 1864 move from Tooradin to the town of Bowen, where they settled after arriving from Cornwall, UK, during the early days of Australian colonization. Growing up in the picturesque fishing village of Port Franklin, Wayne's childhood was marked by the charm of a small community, with a population of only 160 residents. His education began at the local primary school, which catered to a modest group of 14 children. Later, he attended the Leongatha Tec School, where he spent three transformative years of his life. After completing his schooling, Wayne pursued his passion for fishing and worked alongside his father in bay fishing before venturing into the Bass Strait deep-sea shark gill net fishery. Taking to the open waters, he acquired his own fishing boat and spent the next two decades exploring the deep blue ocean.
