THE UNSTUMPABLE CHARLIE KITE
Imagine this: you’re alone on an island with nothing to eat except a bag of marshmallows. Maybe that’s not a problem if the bag is big enough. But imagine there’s a bear on the island with you. A bear who also loves marshmallows. What do you do? Climb a tree? Share the marshmallows? What if the bear doesn’t like sharing?
This is the exact problem that eleven-year-old Charlie faces in The Unstumpable Charlie Kite, a story of wilderness survival like no other. What begins as a camping trip with his dad turns into the most incredible adventure Charlie could have imagined. He must use the clues of the forest to navigate rivers, stay warm, find food, and among other things, conquer a marshmallow-loving bear. The Unstumpable Charlie Kite is a story about hope, trust, and solving life's biggest puzzles.
