The Silver Boulder (Whitecap $3.95) & The Keeper and the Crows (Orca $6.50)
Since relocating to Pender Island from Alberta, Andrea Spalding and David Spalding have quickly become the most prolific literary couple in B.C., working individually and as a team.
The Spaldings are releasing their second installment of an educational 'adventure net' series for ages 8 to 12, The Silver Boulder (Whitecap $3.95). While searching for silver around Kaslo, Rick and Willow Forster visit the ghost town of Sandon and the sternwheeler SS Moyie.
As well, Andrea Spalding has taken an idyllic stay in an Ontario cottage, the remains of the summer home of an eccentric millionaire (who built stone grottoes and secret chambers into local riverbanks), the myth of Pandora's Box and the memory of a cheeky crow and let it percolate into a thriller for young readers, The Keeper and the Crows (Orca $6.50). Her heroine Misha discovers she is one of a line of caretakers of Pandora's Box who can unlock the box each day to release a smidgen of Hope. Her Aunt Dora holds one key, but the other has been stolen by crows ruled by a mystical albino crow known as Old One.
