A camping trip with dad is always an adventure especially when the hunt for the perfect stick begins, as described in Derek Jory’s debut children’s book The Perfect Stick (Tellwell Talent $22.99). The great outdoors becomes a canvas for wild imaginations where pirates, ogres and a mighty kraken replace ordinary lions, tigers and bears. But with endless adventures comes hidden danger, making every discovery more thrilling, and scary, than the last. Illustrated by Vancouver-based artist, Derek Toye. Jory has worked as a sportswriter & reporter for two decades, and has covered the Olympics, Stanley Cup Final and the Super Bowl. He lives in Lake Country, BC. 9780228866510
