Magical versus Tragical in the 1st book in the Thunder Maker series - the only book with all 3 shields! Someone said "dumb" and the entire class heard except the teacher! Can a stink bug hug lead to learning the value of giving and getting a sincere apology? There is a princess who's memory holds centuries of storms. She wears a prehistoric tiara and transforming shield and travels from her magical home to fight the little villainous nuggets of doom. These stories are from the eye of the storm. Scruffy little nuggets of doom rode on the winds through the town to trick the class to believe that the Thunder Maker is causing the bad words and snickers. But never fear, the princess will help the kids find the true power of sound. The author of How To Survive a Bear Attack: The Middle School Survivor's Guide presents a comical, warm series addressing school age themes and what can happen when we learn to separate the Magical from the Tragical. Two Activities included! Umbrellas onward!
