Aggie and Ryan

by sherri ashburner

Aggie did not plan on spending the summer in and out of his doctor’s office. But when mysterious pains appear at the site of his largest surgical scar, he has no choice. These pains happen randomly, so Aggie’s doctor asks him about anything new in his life.

And all Aggie can come up with is a blue glass jar of old marbles that he received three days ago. The same time that his nightmares began. This jar and his pain are not related…or are they? Aggie doesn’t think they could be, until the marbles start misbehaving in the most wonderous way.

But magic comes at a price, as Aggie and his new friend Ryan Elizabeth soon find out. What else they discover will test the strength of that new friendship and redefine what it means to be a friend.

And it all begins with a simple leather bracelet.

about sherri

As you can see behind me, I grew up on a steady diet of Freddy the Pig and Nancy Drew books. Truly, I never quite left my childhood behind, and that makes writing middle grade books the perfect fit for me.

I live on the Connecticut shoreline with one of my sons, two wobbly kitties, and a catahoula  rescue dog.

And yes, I really do collect old marbles. And no, I do not own a leather bracelet like Aggie’s…yet.
