Book excerpt: A heartwarming story about a military child separated from a loved one by deployment, and the love between them that holds no distance Deployment (definition): Any movement from a military personnel's home station to somewhere outside the continental U.S. and its territories (source: Dept. of Veterans Affairs). Since 2001, more than 2 million children have experienced a parent deployed at least once. Military families relocate ten times more than civilian families. This averages to a move every two to three years. 37% of children with a deployed parent reported that they seriously worry about what could happen to their deployed caretaker. Children in military families experience high rates of mental health, trauma, and related problems. One day, during a class assembly, Max gets some strong "Super Max" vibes. A special visitor has arrived at the school, and all eyes are now staring at Max. Why is everyone looking at her, and who is the special visitor to the assembly? She saw a face that mirrored hers, with eyes so full of mist. A beaming loving grin and daisies clutched inside his fist. She recognized the uniform with black and brown and green, and on his chest, her last name sewn, could easily be seen. Max rubbed her eyes to clear them-she could not believe the sight. Convinced her eyes were tricking her, she rubbed with all her might. But then she looked again and saw the image was quite real, and promptly, Max excitedly let out the loudest squeal. Is this special visitor a brother? Cousin? Uncle? Father? Join Max as she discovers who this surprise visitor is, and why they are setting off her "Super Max" vibes. Written in rhyme, Super Max's Hero Surprise will take readers on an emotional journey as it captures the strength of family ties, the emotions of living through deployment separation, and the joyous feeling of re-connection.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “An excellent addition to middle grade shelves, with a differently-abled main character that readers will root for.” —School Library Journal “Vaught makes Max the brash, bold star of the book, exchanging stereotypes and sympathy cards for a well-drawn character whose disability is part of who she is but not her complete identity; hopefully Max will roll ahead as the advance guard of a literary cadre.” —BCCB A Parents’ Choice Recommended Book It’s going to take more than a knack for electronics and a supercharged wheelchair for twelve-year-old Max to investigate a haunted mansion in Edgar Award–winning author Susan Vaught’s latest middle grade mystery. Max has always been a whiz with electronics (just take a look at her turbo-charged wheelchair). But when a hacker starts a slanderous Facebook page for her grandpa, Max isn’t sure she has the skills to take him down. The messages grow increasingly sinister, and Max fears that this is more than just a bad joke. Here’s the thing: Max has grown up in the shadow of Thornwood Manor, an abandoned mansion that is rumored to be haunted by its original owner, Hargrove Thornwood. It is said that his ghost may be biding his time until he can exact revenge on the town of Blue Creek. Why? Well, it’s complicated. To call him a jerk would be an understatement. When the hacking escalates, suddenly it looks to Max like this could really be Thornwood’s Revenge. If it is, these messages are just the beginning—and the town could be in danger.
