Willie Venturely is the sort of boy that has never cared about school...because he doesn’t like Miss Dullywinkle’s history class where he must write research reports on historical heroes or flunk! Flunking history doesn’t matter to Willie because all he cares about is avoiding his twin sister, Tillie (whenever possible), riding his bike, finding collectibles to stash in his very messy desk at school and fishing for them during Miss Dullywinkle’s boring history lesson.
But Willie and Tillie are in for surprises and fun, after Willie finds his best collectible ever, a very mysterious spinning compass. The unusual compass draws the twin siblings into the magical, humorous, and wonderfilled world of Admiral Wright and Captain Perry Parrot, a wacky pair of time travelers. The wacky travelers fly in a Shiny Shiny Silver Ship around the world and universe (if necessary) to find real clues into the truth about heroes from history, CHARACTER CHAMPIONS individuals of indomitable courage, integrity, perseverance and faith. Willie and Tillie learn about Heroical Storicals, the amazing courage of Daniel Boone, the captivating story of The Battle of Boonesborough and what it means to be a Heroical-Storical-Observicorical-Researchorical-Scientifical-Mate. Willlie conquers his fear, Tillie learns that others count, especially her brother, and they both gain a new vision for learning, discovery and adventure! Thanks to the Admiral and Captain, of course!

About the Author:

Annie is a graduate of UC Berkeley, former school teacher, Doublemint Twin, and single mom of three children.

Review:

As independent booksellers who greatly care about educating children, we look for the outstanding and the unusual that unique book that cannot be found in a chain or discount store. Heroical Storicals is precisely such a book. Having had the privilege of being one of the selected bookstores carrying such a fun and exciting historical time travel adventure about Daniel Boone, we have sold well over a thousand copies since we first began stocking it barely a year ago. Take advantage of this opportunity to be involved at the beginning of a new best selling author s career. --Margeret Triefendler Bookstore Owner Big Bear Book and Bean

Thank you Annie Winston for writing such a masterpiece! My child loved Heroical Storicals. He read the whole book in one night. You are a great author! Write more! --Ryhoop Doochieners Parent

Surely elementary school teachers throughout America will discover that Heroical Storicals do provide the magic that can bring enthusiastic reading and class discussion on what it means to think clearly and act right. One educator commented, I can use your book as a basis for providing a values based program which my students desperately need. --. William Habermehl Chief School Superintendent over 500,000 students in Orange County , CA.
