In The
Tale Travelers Book 1: Henry’s History, a mid-grade chapter book of
19,380 words, after ten-year-old Henry, (a city boy newly
transplanted to a tiny town), gets inhaled by a history book, he
discovers that he has actually embodied the person of Christopher
Columbus. His only guide through the magical pages of history is
the enchanted narrator, Hope, who appears when he most needs her, in
ways he never could have imagined, and armed with a golden pencil
that creates the worlds he must travel through without changing.
Henry must captain the massive and sensational Santa Maria, battle
storms, and rally young men to success, all in the occasionally
time-frozen world of Tale Traveling. Illuminating historical
narration, rich descriptions, youthful humor and fantastical secrets
of this new, supernatural world entice audiences to discover how
Henry will escape the mysterious book and whether he’ll even want to
do so. Enjoy the realm of adventure to which Henry introduces us in
The Tale Travelers Book 1: Henry’s History.

“My three children demanded that I
purchase Henry’s History as soon as it became available. One
third-grader in my troop who reads only reluctantly told her mother
that it was the only thing she ever wanted to read after hearing
about it. My older son, a sixth grader who reads material written
for much older audiences, was not only disappointed that he couldn’t
finish the book that evening, he was actively engaged in the
lecture, taking notes and attempting to answer the questions Reji
posed to the audience. Since he seems uninterested in most things
these days, the way she drew him in was impressive.”

Parent, Girl Scout Leader and School Volunteer on her troop and
children’s reactions to Reji’s presentation of her educational
seminar, “The Backwards Book” featuring “The Tale Travelers Book 1:
Henry’s History”.
