CODY'S TREASURE COVE
What started out as a simple writing project for my son, to help him with reading, turned into the Cody's Treasure Cove series.
Cody's Treasure Cove is a short chapter book series for young readers to adult readers. This mini-series takes each reader on a journey into the dreams and determination of a young boy on the autism spectrum, a boy who has goals and who does not give up. His dream is to find a great treasure, with emphasis on fossils, with the help of his friend he one day finds a treasure that will change his life and his family's lives.
​
Currently, books one, two and three are complete and available for purchase. Book one begins the life changing adventures and lays the foundation for the series, book two brings in new adventures with a new friend. While both of these books in the series will give each reader a great reading experience, book three will be the highlight of the series. Book three brings forth a new adventure along with intense moments of danger and heroism on the part of our lead character. Our young explorers find themselves facing a new set of mysteries and falling victim to traps and even life threatening situations.
