Crabtree: Lost Kids of Borealonon is part of Humanity Shines’ Leaves on the Wind literary program.
Life teaches us many things and we are challenged to share what we learn with others. It is not always an easy task, not always rewarding in the ways we hope, and it can take sacrifice. But it is always fulfilling to our spirit because it is what drives our life’s purpose.
I started writing the structure of Crabtree: Lost Kids of Borealonon in 1987. I was taking a focused children’s literature class and one of our assignments was to create a fantasy/adventure story. As a mother of three young children at that time, I also wanted to incorporate deeper lessons into the storyline.
Twenty years later I found my story in a box and thought I could expand it into something greater. It has evolved through my own experiences and now it has become the first book in the fantasy/mystery/adventure Crabtree series.
At this time, I am developing and writing a screenplay based on the first book, and to my humble delight, the film will be directed by Martin Manuel Nuza! Martin was such an encouragement to me after he read the manuscript. He already had ideas about the film! Here is his initial response to the story:
“Crabtree is a truly great adventure book that is a perfect escape not only for children of all ages but also for adults, as this story has so many layers of adventure, emotions, mystery and legends it was hard to put it down. A book highly recommended for everyone. Well done Jane L. Fitzpatrick for such a beautiful story.”
