The Adventures of Charlie & Moon

Dec. 1, 2009 - PRLog -- The Adventures of Charlie & Moon is a fantasy for children about a boy named Charlie Ramsbottom who opens his birthday present the night before his ninth birthday and the consequences that follow. Moon is a young eagle who needs Charlie’s help to stop an evil toymaker, Skunk Weavel from  turning all the eagles and endangered species into stuffed toys.

The Adventures of Charlie & Moon takes children on a wild ride through the imaginary Shire of Tumblegum, across The Plains of Desire to the dark City of the Quincequonces to prevent the evil toymaker, Skunk Weavel, from achieving his wicked ways.

Kat Goddard from The New England Booksellers Association calls The Adventures of Charlie & Moon “charming… especially welcome to younger fans of the Harry Potter books… has the classic feel and lovely language of Tolkien but with plenty of contemporary bits...”

Jana Laiz, award-winning author of Weeping Under This Same Moon raves,“…maniacally funny, disgustingly hilarious…like Roald Dahl in all his wicked glory…”

In addition to the book, a dedicated website www.charlieandmoon.com is being launched. It aims to become a meeting place for children where they can LEARN, SHARE and ACT upon issues related to animal protection. The website will also interact with social networks, solicit kids’ artwork on the issue, and gather and distribute knowledge about initiatives run by kids around the world.
