Hunter has just completed the fourth grade and is not looking forward to spending another boring summer hanging around the house. When his beloved grandfather, Captain Mike, sails into town, toting his mysterious steamer trunk, Hunter quickly formulates a plan.

5.0 out of 5 stars Students AND teachers sure to enjoy this new book!, May 15, 2006

By	Kristin Roberts "Kristin Roberts" (Eureka, CA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I had the privelege of reading The Steamer Trunk Adventures #1 even before it was published (I have even read book #2!! Readers are in for yet another treat with this book too when it is released!) I am completely impressed with Randy's writing. He is creative, intelligent, and fun. As a former kindergarten and homeschool teacher, I agree wholeheartedly that this book will delight both student and teacher alike. Randy has a gift for weaving into his adventures with Hunter and his grandfather many facts about geography, history, etc. which keep the reader interested in the adventures, and yet learning useful information. Readers are in for a surprise with this new author.
