Cover Reveal: An Unexpected Adventure by Kandi J Wyatt




AN UNEXPECTED ADVENTURE
by Kandi J Wyatt
Middle Grade Fantasy / Adventure







Protect their community or protect their discovery?
For eighth graders Chace, Harley, Will, and Cherise, that’s a life-changing
question after they find a dragon’s egg while hunting for thundereggs on
the beach. Toss in summer jobs, family struggles, and a National Security
Agent, and their summer vacation just became complicated.


Can they find a solution that won’t leave their hearts broken or their
community in flames?





SNEAK PEEK

After a few more minutes of digging, the stone came free. Will wriggled it until we could get a grip underneath and lift it out. I really had my doubts we could pick it up; I was sure it’d weigh close to a hundred pounds or more. However, to my surprise, it came free and up without a hitch, absurdly light for its size.
“Should it be this light?” I squinted at the rock in our hands.
“I don’t know.” Will shrugged his shoulder.
Chace shifted his grip. “I’ve never seen a single rock this big before. But it should weigh more than this. I still say it’s an egg.”
I was beginning to believe him, but there were some good reasons to doubt it, too. “What bird’s this big, and how did it get here? We’re a long way from the game park.”
The game park was the closest thing to a zoo we had. They had wild animals and some pet deer, sheep, donkeys, geese, goats, and peacocks to feed. They even had an emu and an ostrich, but I still couldn’t imagine either one having an egg quite this size.
Chace shook his head. “I don’t know, but listen.” He took a free hand and tapped ever so gently on the surface.
It echoed hollowly. Before anyone could say anything, a second fainter tap came as if in reply.
“What in the world?” I exclaimed, jumping and almost dropping the thing.
“It’s an egg,” Chace said with firm conviction. “I don’t know what kind yet, but it’s an egg.”
“Wh-what do we do with it?” Will looked like he wanted to toss it in the ocean.
“We keep it.”

Both Will and Chace looked at me as if I had just turned down a shot at a five-point deer during hunting season. I don’t know what I was thinking, but suddenly a fierce desire to protect the creature inside came over me.



And here she is...

Even as a young girl, Kandi J Wyatt, had a knack for words. She loved to read them, even if it was
on a shampoo bottle! By high school Kandi had learned to put words
together on paper to create stories for those she loved. Nowadays,
she writes for her kids, whether that's her own five or the hundreds
of students she's been lucky to teach. When Kandi's not spinning
words to create stories, she's using them to teach students about
Spanish, life, and leadership.


You can find her...
