A Coquitlam author who donated the proceeds from his début novel to BC Children’s Hospital is now out with his second book.
And, like his first book, all royalties from Back to the New Adventure will be donated to the BC Children’s Hospital.
Trevor Atkins is following The Day the Pirates Went Mad with Back to the New Adventure, as part of the same series for middle schoolers.
Copies of his new book can be picked up at Western Sky Books in Port Coquitlam, as well as Amazon.ca.
Set in 1704, the historical fictional tale continues with orphan Emma Sharpe, who is now 13, surviving after being marooned.
She duels a pirate captain, breaks into a French jail and chases down the ship that’s taking a crewmate back to France to be executed.
Atkins said he was inspired by survival stories like Robinson Crusoe, and his own family’s summer camping trips, to write the literary yarns.
A teachers’ guide, STEM activities and ship recipes are included with the sequel.
