“The wild adventure continues in the wonderful, imaginative journey around the world! Robert and Michael’s latest quest takes them into the world of whaling – and Margreit Maitland’s imagination has us rooting for the boys all the way as they once again escape disaster on their harrowing trip to get to America! This book series has everything a Young Adult reader could ask for – and more!”
“The reader is immediately immersed in the adventure of Robert and Michael; stowaways and best friends, in their quest to reach America. A true adventure story that I could not put down. After reading the first book, “Runaway at Sea” I was thrilled to read “Adventurer at Sea” and continue to follow Robert and Michael in their action-packed and heartwarming escapade.”
Q: Is writing your passion or emotion? It is both. The series is based on the life of my great, great grandfather, Robert. The family journal was given to me by my grandfather before he died. It is the most amazing inheritance I could have ever wished for. Creating the series about Robert’s story has been a very personal journey for me and I will treasure it forever.
Q: What was that final or provoking thought that made you write your first book? That I could do it. Not to be deterred by fear of the unknown and to go for it.
Q: How does writing bring out the best in you? It allows me to be creative and that is cathartic and brings me a great deal of personal satisfaction. This, in turn, raises my confidence and feelings of accomplishment.
