Word Travelers and the Missing Mexican Molé
The Word Travelers series follows best friends Eddie and Molly-Jean on globe-trotting adventures as they solve word-wide conspiracies!
Eddie and Molly-Jean are next-door neighbors and best friends. One Saturday, Eddie's mom sends him up to the attic to get his great-grandpa's most prized possession (a book, of course). Eddie and MJ are suddenly transported to India, where they must use their word knowledge to help a new friend save his school.
This new series will follow the two best friends as they discover the hidden stories behind common words (for example, did you know that the word "shampoo" originally came from a hindi word that means "to rub"?) Using their Awesome Enchanted Book and a healthy dose of imagination, the daring duo transport themselves all over the world, encountering new adventures and learning how different cultures have contributed to the English language along the way.
