Tara Hungerford is a Vancouver-based television writer and director who, with her husband Eric Hogan, created the award-winning children’s media brand, The Gumboot Kids. The success of the TV show is the inspiration for a new series of books. The two latest entries in the series are The Case of the Tagalong Twin : A Gumboot Kids Nature Mystery (Firefly $6.95) and The Case of the Buried Treasure : A Gumboot Kids Nature Mystery (Firefly $6.95). In Tagalong Twin, felted mouse Daisy is followed by a mysterious twin until she and Scout uncover the science of shadows. In Buried Treasure, Scout’s missing bulbs lead to a spring surprise and a lesson on plant life cycles. Hogan and Hungerford co-write the series with Cathy Moss and aim to use the books as a “bridge from the living room to the outdoors” to inspire kids to observe nature and be present. 9780228105701 & 9780228105688
