When you meet a successful author and he's from your home state you need to share that experience with your granddaughter. Isabelle loves the Michigan Chillers series. She reads so many of them we had trouble finding one she had not consumed already.
Johnathan Rand (his pen name) was gracious, fun and inspiring. He even let a plastic spider fall from the ceiling unexpectedly. Of course, he donned the iconic spectacles for our photo. If you ever want to visit Indian River, you must stop in to the unassuming shop with the giant inside. He will send a chill down your spine.
