About the Book

Nick's favorite cousin Wiggy is killed by and IED in Iraq. Nick is shaken by his death, and is surprised when Wiggy appears at his bedside at night, and tells him that there are bad spirts and ghosts around that could harm him. He will inhabit Nick's loyal dog Winston so he can stay close and protect him. Chris doesn't believe any of this and thinks Nick is dreaming it all. This drives a wedge in their friendship. Donny hates having to watch his two best friends argue and fight each other. Ghosts and spirits abound in this story along with Chris falling in love with the granddaughter of a woman Nick is convinced is a bad spirit. So who is right? Is it Nick who is convinced he sees Wiggy and bad spirits and ghosts, or Chris who thinks Nick is dreaming the whole thing. The answer, provided by Donny, may surprise you.
About the Author: ROBERT CARLILE was a professor of Electrical Engineering at he University of Arizona in Tucson for 30 years. In that time he published over 100 technical articles in esoteric journals for which the audience was small and his wife had no idea what he was writing about. He always had ideas for stories for kids, but never had the time to write them down. Then one summer, three of his grand kids, 8 - 12, came to spend a week. The sleeping arrangements were less than optimum, requiring them to all sleep in the same room. Foreseeing chaos after the lights were out, Robert found the time to write one of those stories. He planned to read it, hoping it would settle them down so they'd go to sleep. Did it work? After reading the first page, they were jumping on the beds, throwing pillows at each other. But what the story didn't do for them, it did for Robert. He found he loved the process of writing. This was 12 years ago, and what started out as a distraction has turned into a profession. He began by writing short stories, then expanded to Young Adult (YA) novels, inspired by the voices and language of the students in his classes. These have evolved into The Windwalker Series, YA novels with the same characters, Chris, Nick, and Donny, first in middle school and finally graduating from High School, finding adventure and new meaning to life as they grow up.
