Sammy's Attic

Ebook

Sammy's hometown burned down in summer forest fires. Since the fires took his home, Sammy has developed an anger problem, which gets him into trouble at his new school. He invents a snowy, imaginary world and a friend, named Tu, in the attic of his new home to help himself heal from grief, terror, and anger. Tu helps Sammy find his way into a new life and new school, where Sammy must make friends and deal with a bully. Sammy can only make peace with these profound changes by following the smell of smoke from below the floorboards of his bedroom, where he finds a world, and himself, on fire.

Sammy's Attic teaches empathy and restorative justice through a story of wonder, truth, and heart.

"My son is 10 years old and has always struggled with reading, he's lacked interest and it's been very difficult getting him to read. This is the first book he wanted to continue reading himself and couldn't put down. I'm so thankful for Sammy's Attic! Hoping the author writes another children's book." - Lorraine Cully

"This is a great story for kids on dealing with big emotions. Illustrated by the author, it feels like it comes from the heart. Includes topics of grief, bullying, restorative justice, and love of self and others." -H. Lanstrum

"Well written and with a thoughtful vein throughout, visually entertaining and bright." - Tyler W.
