Review:

This new series introduces readers to Mike of the Hawkanzians. This culture of people has been in existence for a very long time. They’ve championed aging by using a special oil from the Banyan trees. They can speak to creatures on land and in the water. And they have some other surprising gifts. Their mission is to protect creatures with knowledge and science. 

In this adventure, young readers will learn about how whalers caught and killed whales for their oil. Readers will also learn more about Mike and his new friends Riley and Sydney and their cats and a St. Bernard. Together these friends will try to save the whales and find safe place for them to be. Mike’s plan was to take them to a whale sanctuary. On the ocean Mike met with Walter the whale and Jenkins a bright red jelly fish. Jenkins sat on top of Walter’s head and he looked like a red cap. Mike informed them of his plan. Will the friends plan work? Can they save the whales all by themselves? 

Young readers will enjoy the historical aspects of this story and learning about whales. This story has plenty of adventure and suspense. Parents and teachers can share information about the whales and sea life.

Seaper Powers, The Movie, is the first of many more to come! This adventure begins with In Search of Bleu Jay’s Treasure, but will unfold into many more adventures with Emma and her friends.

 About Kim Cameron

Kim Cameron began her career on KHAT TV as a small-town reporter after DJ'ing on KRNU. With a journalism degree in hand, she moved to the Washington DC area writing for the Smithsonian Institute. Her career took numerous twists and turns through corporate ladders and organizations, but telling stories was always a passion. She is a proven lyricist with a song catalog of over 65, including a few children's songs. She wrote her first musical in 2012 while writing for the National Examiner and providing the voice over character for an Asian animation movie. Kim is a true believer in inspiring and nurturing kids. She teaches vocal lessons to students at the School of Rock and volunteers at the Children's Hospital, singing at their bedsides.

While on tour in the Caribbean, she met a 12-year-old who had a fascination with octopi. This brief encounter inspired the creation of Mr. Octopus, a children's tune featuring a 7-year-old that Kim recently signed to her record label. After completing the song, her co-writer and guitarist, John DePatie, encouraged her to take the song to next level by writing a children's book using the song as the impetus. After the story was written, John and Kim thought it would be better told using a live narrator and the incorporation of the song. After months of production, narration, editing, the creation of original musical score and sound effects, the audiobook was completed.

While Kim has had many accomplishments, she and John consider this their biggest feat. Seaper Powers is the first of a series that Kim and John have committed to write and produce.
