Scary Spring / The 1950s Adventures of Pete and Carol Ann Bd.1 (ePub)

Take a blast to the past in author C.A.Hartnell's exciting, fast-paced, historical-fiction chapter book, Scary Spring: Our Polio Fright of 1955, for readers eight and up. It's the first of a four-book series, The 1950s Adventures of Pete and Carol Ann, inspired by actual events from Hartnell's childhood. The author is uniquely qualified to write about polio and the polio vaccine, because her relatives had polio and other relatives were doctors who worked on the polio vaccine. Hartnell spent her grammar school years during the 1950s in El Monte, California, home of American Legion Stadium where rock 'n' roll and cool cars thrived and multiplied. She's the proud owner of Hawk's Ride, a 1937 Ford Slantback hot rod with a chopped-top and painted flames. Hartnell was a board member of Big Hearts for Little Hearts Loma Linda Guild at Loma Linda University Children's Hospital in Southern California and has authored five activity books for them. She's written articles for the Guild's newsletter and the hospital's TODAY in-house newspaper. Author Hartnell belongs to four writers' organizations: SCBWI-Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators, IBPA-Independent Book Publishers Association, ACWA-American Christian Writers Association, and Writer's Institute, Inc. She lives with her husband in the Southwest United States and has four grown children who have blessed her with twelve grandchildren and many great grandchildren. Like Wow and No Surprise, Hartnell desires to entertain plus encourage readers of all ages, especially Baby Boomers and those touched by polio. Visit her website at www.cahartnell.com.
