CJ and the Angel Kids (Paperback)

CJ and his friends, called the Angel Kids, have a mystery to solve at Camp Snowball. The Angel Kids have special abilities, but they can’t solve the mystery alone. They need help from Jim, Patty, Tony and Susan as well as the rest of the campers to find the missing Santa and save Christmas at Camp Snowball. They must form a plan, gather clues, and work together to return Santa before the big Christmas dinner. During their adventure, they will begin to understand sensory processing issues while showing respect to each other too. It takes teamwork as well as some great detective work to solve the mystery at Camp Snowball.

Richard A. O'Brien holds a doctorate degree in Chemistry and worked in the chemical industry for fifteen years before switching careers. He now teaches Chemistry at the University of South Alabama in Mobile, Alabama. He and his wife Lisa have two boys, Bowe and Connor. Connor, or CJ, was born in Savannah, Georgia, with cerebral palsy and uses a wheelchair for transportation. In addition, CJ talks to everyone with an augmentative communication device. The idea of CJ and the Angel Kids was conceived back in 2006 while attending church and is the will of God. The book was written to teach all boys and girls how to interact with other kids with special abilities. All children with special abilities are still just kids and want to have fun playing with their peers. Dr. O'Brien is a native of Yankton, South Dakota, and currently resides in Semmes, Alabama, with his wife and two children.
