With its unassuming universal appeal, Claude's Adventure stars a fatherless 14-year-old "rude boy," who goes from a present-day classroom through a scary time warp in the Virgin Islands in the Caribbean. And he discovers a whole new world of learning, love, sacrifice, courage, and belonging.

Review
Claude's Adventure reads like a classic storybook ... for the reading and listening public in the Caribbean and wherever children are growing up in a de-centered child s world. --Professor Gene Emanuel, University of the Virgin Islands
A spellbinding adventure of one boy's possibility for transformation as he grasps the value of the struggles that precede him. A necessary and easily absorbed read for this generation. --Cozbi Cabrera-Sanchez, Founder, COZBI inc., New York
