CJ and the Angel Kids: Tale of the Talker

CJ and his friends, called the Angel Kids, have a mystery to solve at Camp Talk-A-Lot. The Angel Kids have special abilities, but they can’t solve the mystery alone or stop the bullying. They need help from Tyler, Cory and Emily as well as the rest of the campers to solve the disappearance of Rosie’s communication device. The campers must gather clues and form a plan to find the talker and help Danny stop bullying his sister. It takes great teamwork and some unusual costumes to solve the mystery at Camp Talk-A-Lot.

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.
