About this ebook

Twelve-year-old Jacky Fraser has entered a whirlwind of changes caused by adolescence and the graduation to middle school, when tragedy strikes and destroys any semblance of normal in his life. Up until then, Jacky had been a happy and popular guy; but as his new responsibilities pile up, Jacky realizes that the stress of his new family situation and the increasing pressure at school is making it impossible for him to keep up. He fears that his father is more like a stranger than his parent. Even his closest friends begin to fall off his radar. He is losing everything that is important and he knows he has to find a way to change the situation. In his desperation, Jacky turns discovers a secret, an unknown part component of his past that just may help him: bagpipes.He doesn't know what they are or how to play, but he is certain they will be the key to restoring his tattered life.

Jim Sellers

I have been a writer, producer and editor of video productions since the 1980′s. My work has been on almost every network in Canada and the US including CBS, NBC, PBS, Family Channel, CBC, Global, Discovery, and so on. Although I’ve been writing since forever I signed my first professional writing contract in 1994. As soon as I realized I could make a living doing something that I enjoyed as much as I do writing, that became my primary focus.Like a lot of boys, I lost interest in reading when I was old enough to call myself a guy. Friends, games (not the online kind, they didn’t exist yet) and television dominated my life. I rediscovered the joys of reading at around 13, when I was lucky enough to have a teacher who convinced me that the power of imagination was far better than anything I could see in movies and TV. Since then I have been challenging myself to read more and different works and to understand the strength and differences of each type of writing, whether it is comics and graphic novels, classic fiction from other centuries or science fiction and fantasy. This has helped expand my writing, which I hope you will see in my books.
