About the author

My name is Penny Estelle and I was an elementary school secretary for 21 years. I heard every excuse and story in the book when kids were sent to the principal. I promised myself when I retired I would write stories about kids that got under my skin – in a good way.

I am retired with my wonderful husband and we live on a fifty-four acre ranch in NW Arizona. Finding out it would cost over $100,000 to bring in electricity we decided to go green. We live on solar and wind. I am the “greenest” person and I know, even if I don’t want to be!

My book Hike Up Devil's Mountain is a MG/tweens fantasy. We need to get our kids reading again and hopefully this adventure will help do just that! It's now also out in print and audio!

I have three other MG/tween stories out. Billy Cooper's Awesome Nightmare - Book 1 of the The Wickware Sagas and just released is A Ride of a Lifetime, Book 2 of the Wickware Sagas. A Float Down the Canal is a story for any young lady in your life. A feel good story about the girl who is always just one of the gang.

I have also written a YA/adult story titled At What Price?, and a non fiction story about my life on solar. It's titled, Solar - One Family's Reality. Please stop by my website @ www.pennystales.com and get a taste of all my stories. I would love it if you left a comment!

[Elizabeth Eichelberger · Rating 5 out of 5]

This wonderfully written picture book will be a sure hit with young school goers. The story is quite relatable with its hints to a very scary principal. Full of fun and giggles it is a great story to read along with or to children.
