Описание: Roan Reedling is a onetime navy sailor who went on to be a project manager with a very large company for quite a long time. These days, Roan writes from the suburbs of Orlando, Florida. Roan wrote Book One of the Rocket McGee series, Avoiding Trouble mainly with tweens and younger teens in mind, but it's a sci-fi adventure that kids of any age can enjoy. You be the judge. Learn more at Rocket McGee.comOn present-day Earth, or nearly so, the world-views and objectives of secretly advanced technology companies are coming to a head. Envy and avarice rear their fire-snorting snouts. Trouble brews and flares, and four young people are forced to extricate themselves from a gnarly situation not of their making, though they have a knack for getting themselves into trouble too. Avoiding Trouble introduces four well-schooled and well-traveled but lonely young people about 12 years old who forge a reluctant and rocky alliance in a perilous, high-tech adventure to save a parent. Along the way, they discover friendship, a place in the world, and the super-human power to work together. In this world, magic lies in technology and human interaction. It started mundanely enough. As Amelia darted from the locker rooms after the swim meet, out onto the playing fields of the New World Academy and rushed to rendezvous with her schoolmate Diana in the thicket at the edge of the school grounds, she didn't imagine for a moment falling down a rabbit hole into a roller-coaster ride for her life and the lives of family and friends, or being there at the birth of Rocket McGee. Who would?
