The Adventures of Maddie Leon: A Continental Shift

Maddie’s plans for the best summer ever are shattered when her parents accept a cultural anthropology assignment in Peru. Leaving her friends, plans and Vancouver to live in Lima totally sucks!

Then she meets Jojo Kofi Afram, another culturally transported kid, rescues Wynn from a life on the streets and discovers new ways to pursue her eco-fashion passion.

Life should be good – BUT it’s not! Her mom wants her to be more ‘regular’, she misses Jenna and Grandpa Leo the stars and back and now Tata Sylvie is sick with the forgetting disease. 

Cultural differences, trouble at school and changing family dynamics are a lot for a teen to deal with!

Follow Maddie Leon and her friends as they experience change, uncertainty and possibility. The Adventures of Maddie Leon is a fiction story suitable for middle grade readers ages 9 – 12.  You can read chapters 1 through 4 at maddie-and-wynn.com
