Parents! Looking for a fun read for your 7-9 year old children?

Fred & Fiona Flea: The Crown Jewels Caper is the first in a series of fun adventure stories featuring two fleas who travel the world to seek adventure. Their first adventure takes place in London, where they foil a plot to steal the Crown Jewels. Fiona Flea's dream comes true when they meet the Queen of England in reward for their brave accomplishment. This fun and heartwarming adventure, about the little guys that win through, teaches young readers about a country's cultural heritage while taking the reader on a thrilling ride.

Co-authors Joan Bunte and Alison Madden  - a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law team - had a goal: To bring some integrity back to children's literature. The Fred and Fiona Flea books have an old-fashioned flare, with charming language that helps broaden the readers' vocabulary. Inappropriate language and themes are avoided in this series, so parents can relax in the knowledge that their children are enjoying their reading experience, are learning something new, but are not handling coarse, frightening or otherwise inappropriate material.

Fred & Fiona Flea: The Crown Jewels Caper will be available in stores and on-line very soon. So, watch this space!
