    About this ebook

    Imagination floods the elementary school's hallways each year when the singers and storytellers who visit during the winter raise their incredible tent in the the center of the gymnasium. Few students can concentrate on their assigned vocabulary terms and mathematical word problems, and every teacher must realize they cannot expect their lesson plans to compete with the songs and the stories that accompany the tent's hurry-gurdy melody. The day when the tent rises in the gymnasium is especially challenging for Hudson Keel, whose imagination runs so wild that Hudson suspects that tent truly journeys between the stars. Hudson fears the tent travels to the places where monsters tread, where danger might claim him, where there are no guarantees that an elementary student will be returned home. So Hudson hides a weapon in his left sneaker on the day the tent returns to his school's gymnasium, and so attracts the attention of the singers and storytellers who control the tent's surprising magic.

    Author

    Brian S. Wheeler

    Brian S. Wheeler calls Hillsboro, Illinois home, a town of roughly 6,000 in the middle of the flatland. The rural Midwest inspires much of Brian's work, and he hopes any connections readers might make between his fiction and the places and people he has had the pleasure to know are positive. Brian earned a degree in English from Eastern Illinois University in Charleston, Illinois. He has taught high school English and courses in composition and creative writing. Imagination has been one of Brian's steadfast companions since childhood, and he dreams of creating worlds filled with inspiration and characters touched by magic. When not writing, Brian does his best to keep organized, to get a little exercise, or to try to train good German Shepherd dogs. He remains an avid reader. More information regarding Brian S. Wheeler, his novels, and his short stories can be found by visiting his website at www.flatlandfiction.com.
