“Adventures to Beat Boredom” was designed by a group of indie authors and illustrators to keep young readers enriched and engaged while they are sheltered in place due to the coronavirus pandemic.
“It’s an honor to represent North Texas and to have my book, Mrs. Hughes is Missing as one of the highlighted books. It’s a great opportunity to team up with authors from around the globe.”

To beat back boredom, while at the same time avoid backslide and learning loss, the giveaway makes 13 books by the 13 selected authors available for free. “Reading gives kids someplace to go when they have to stay put,” states Jones-Scaife, who is also a magazine publisher and graphic designer. “A book is an adventure.”
