Twelve-year-old
Natalie Isabelle Cailean Edwards exerts creativity and integrity that puts most
adults to shame. Determined to make her mark on the world through her Texty
Talky invention and “saving” the lemmings, Natalie learns from her success and
failures how to navigate the ever changing landscape of false perceptions and
truth. The adolescent years are difficult enough, but when her sudden fame
comes rushing in with the national success of the Texty Talky’s friendships are
tested and jealousy rears its ugly head heightening the out lash from the
school bully.
False accusations
toward Natalie’s good girl image come into question. What can she do to set the
record straight without making matters worse? Will her honesty and her positive
attitude prevail? Journey along with Natalie to learn if she musters the
strength to overcome.
Kai Strand brings
forth a wholesome adventure of a young inventor and her adversity to overcome
negative perceptions and jealously from others will have the reader cheering
for Natalie from the onset.
