The Adventures At GlenMorangie, Ghosties and Me,: (and my mad mob...)

By Clanna' NicCoinnich

Tweens story, about life, family, death and multiculturalism

Through the eyes of an Aboriginal boy from Australia, living in Nashville. Being blessed by having his WHOLE cultural tapestry at home.

Have you wondered what it's like to be 13 in this day and age?

I started writing this book during the summer. Watching my excruciatingly sad 13 year old 6 foot son wandering round our property aimlessly, and alone during the school holidays.

He is by all accounts my baby, and I so want to protect him from the world.

All his siblings live all round the planet, and he misses them terribly, and it seriously pains me to see him live without them.

You see, we live in a foreign non English speaking country, with the occasional trips home to Scotland, we haven't as yet managed to get home to Australia. His favourite 19 year old sister is in the UK, and his 5 other siblings in Oz.

So, I wrote a healing story, about how he is reunited with everyone. With the speciality of having so many nationalities in one family. And how we all need to get back to basics and be almost tribal again. When life was simpler.

The story also deals with death, how our loved ones follow us on our journey, no matter where we are.

It's a story about one's own culture, and appreciating others differing cultures at the same time. Which is important for children at this age.

In our family - and whom the story is about: Scots, Maori, First nation American, American, Australian Aboriginal and Anglo Australian....So we've all learnt to respect each other.

So, I hope that the story brings about familiarity, acceptance, embracing differences, and brings a smile to your face also (yes, there's a bit of potty humour) suitable for kids of all ages, and bigger kids.
