When an ancient book of wisdom is stolen, 11-year-old Hannah Grace and her karate besties must discover their power and rescue the book before Big Evil uses it to overtake the universe.
That’s the launching point for the nonstop action, humor and adventure of Hannah Grace and the Dragon Codex, Book 1: Hansu Chathri, a debut novel by award-winning writer and Amazon bestseller Roger Ziegler. It’s about the power of friendship that features martial arts, magic and a sumo-wrestling guinea pig. The novel also shows kids things they don’t teach in school, like how to harness the power of dreams and imagination for practical purposes.
This thrilling, life-affirming work was originally motivated by a family crisis, one that had Ziegler questioning what kind of legacy he wanted to leave his only child.
“I wanted my daughter to know that no matter what happens in life, she’s capable of all her dreams and I believe in her through it all,” said Ziegler. “And in my case, since I have almost no other skills, I decided to write a book to show her how to do that.”
Ziegler is the coauthor of the humorous Pee On It and Walk Away: How to Stay Stress-free Among Difficult People · Life Lessons from Super Dog Abby. He long ago rejected the sensible, and sane, advice of his parents to be a doctor (or lawyer) and became a writer instead. He’s been a journalist, copywriter and freelancer for more than 25 years (The New York Times, FinancialWorld) and has won writing awards from the New York Press Association and Physicians for Social Responsibility.
“Hannah Grace is first and foremost an adventure tale with humor, but I also hope it encourages readers to keep going despite any challenges and to put the power of their intuition and imagination into action,” said Ziegler.
Hannah Grace and The Dragon Codex, Book 1: Hansu Chathri is available at Amazon and
Barnes and Noble in paperback ($10.99).
