A Leaside boy, Calum Paulsen, 12, has written a 148-page mystery paperback that seems likely to appeal to many kids his age. And here’s a lovely family twist. The book is illustrated by Calum’s granddad Yousef Tadros, a commercial architect. Here’s how Calum summarizes the plot.
When superstar MLB player and five star amateur detective Neil “Popfly” Gibson becomes tangled in a mysterious case targeting baseball players, he must figure out what the attacks have to do with an ancient Greek princess named Cassandra. Neil races against the clock, determined not to let another MLB player get hurt. But can he solve the mystery in time, or will he wind up just another victim?
Such fun and reason for plenty of family pride. Calum and Yousef hope to publish another book soon. Here’s the Amazon page where The Princess Cassandra Mystery can be purchased for $10.16
