While the official launch is happening in May, there are copies of Seekers of the Lost Boy already out there! And there happens to be a free signed copy ready to go to a lucky winner of this Rafflecopter giveaway.
Seekers of the Lost Boy, for those new to this page, is an investigative adventure story aimed at the 8-14 year old market. Set in Cape Town, South Africa, it follows a family with four children. The oldest three embark on their adventure when the eldest child, Simon, finds a message in a bottle on Muizenberg beach – written by another 12-year-old boy from 30 years before. Tracking down the message-writer catapults the family onto a journey they never expected to take. With homeschooled main characters, a glimpse into South Africa’s apartheid past – particularly District Six – and some surprising secrets, Seekers of the Lost Boy should make for an intriguing family read.

I have loved reading of your joys and triumphs in this venture…. now I’d love to read the reason behind them with my family. So proud of you, and knowing how much heart and soul goes into this kind of work, when you already have a fantastic full-time job(s) as mom, wife and homeschooling mentor to 4! Well done Taryn, we rejoice along with you!

Because you’re local.. You’re a published author… and my Mom is trying to break into the industry now that she’s retired… and I want to show her a real person that has… here… in our back yard (ok… a little but further than Durbs, but it counts)… and I love kiddie adventure stories – Enid and I go WAY back.

Well done Taryn!! Looking forward to reading your book.
I will definitely be getting this book, even if I don’t win one! Number one reason? Hard to say. Probably just the fact that it’s about homeschooled children is what intrigues me the most, also that it’s by someone I’ve “known” via internet for a few years. But there’s also the fact that we spent four months in Muizenberg several years ago, so this is “my part” of South Africa. Can’t wait to read it!
Well done, Taryn. Cannot wait to read this with my kids!
I would love to have this for my children. Not only is it about home schoolers, but also about South Africa!!
My son is almost 11 and an avid reader. We’re constantly looking for quality books for him to read. PLUS his best friend is originally from South Africa!
I’ve hit a wall with my 8 year old homeschooled son and added frustration is having to help my 5 year old daughter inbetween. I have enrolled both my two beautiful children into school starting Monday 22 April. I have failed homeschooling and i have failed both my children. I’ve hit a depression state of mind and see no way out at this stage as to put them into school.
Maybe winning a copy and reading your book will awaken some sort of light within me and I will return to my senses to keep moving forward with homeschooling. At this stage i need all the support i can get, because i feel like a huge failure not being able to cope with homeschooling.
CANT WAIT FOR THIS BOOK!!!!!!!!!!
Tarryn, I cannot wait to read this book – I have followed the project from when you first announced it and I am so excited to see your plans and hard work coming to fruition!
All the best with this book and may the story touch many lives and open many hearts too 🙂
PS – the best reason for me to win this book is so that I can enjoy the story and tell everyone I know about it too! aww heck I’ll do that anyways… lol So I guess it’s just so that I could win something and enjoy it too!
My daughter is 8 and loves reading. I think she would love to get lost in this story.
My daughter (8) has a wild imagination and we travel a lot to the Western Cape. We recently spent a day at Muizenburg beach and at Franschoek. Quite delightful. it would be great to have a story about children living out an adventure while we are actually visiting the places she is reading about. I love homeschooling my two kids and hope to meet ohter homeschoolers in the Western Cape soon. Good luck with your launch, I pray it goes well.
I’d love to win this because I think my own boy would love it!
