Appearances

Treat your students to stories of history, adventure, and fun.

There’s nothing quite like hearing a book being read by the person who wrote it. In this particular case, you get to see the twinkle that appears in Terrilyn’s eye as she reads an excerpt from each of her four published works.

Ben of The Island: Storms and Trains

The Little Red Marble: A Journey Into Sea Glass

The Little Red Marble: Adventures in the Ocean

Ben of the Island

Ben of the Island: IceBoats and Phantom Ship

The intended audience of Terrilyn’s books are children between the ages of 6 and 10,  and she adores visiting classrooms and sharing her stories with these young readers. 

“Children have an innate joy about them. They aren’t yet tainted by the world as adults are. They have a love of life that is contagious. Young children live in the moment and they inspire me with their eagerness to learn.”

While she writes primarily to entertain, there are important themes woven through Terrilyn’s books:

  • The Little Red Marble books tie into adventure and writing fiction based on true events
  • The Ben of the Island books feature Island history and themes of kindness, courage, and helping others

Here’s where you can reach Terrilyn to invite her for a classroom or library visit! 

And if you must know what happens, you can order your own copy of each book here.
