"How I Lost My Parents" Sneaky is a three-eyed green monster who lives deep in the woods near Blake James' grandparents' house. Several books have been written and published about the fictional character and the books can be enjoyed alone or with other books about Sneaky. Why does Sneaky have three eyes? Do any other species have three eyes? What happened to his parents? Why does Sneaky live alone? How did he find a place to live? Why does he hide from people? How did he get the name Sneaky? The author's intent is to peak the reader's curiosity and ask questions about the character. Blake James and Makayla set out in an attempt to find Sneaky, and when they do they learn the secrets about Sneaky and his parents. "How I Lost My Parents" attempts to answers many of the questions a child would ask. Hopefully the author succeeds in lively dialogue between parent and child. This is the author's sixth book.

Sneaky is a three-eyed hairy monster who lives and growls at night in the thick woods where Blake James's grandparents live. Blake heard his grandfather say he was going to hunt the monster. Blake asked his grandfather if he could go with him. Reluctantly, his grandfather said he could go. One night, the roars were very loud so Blake and his grandfather set off for the woods. It was getting dark, and the trees were looking scarier and scarier. Blake held his grandfather's hand and was excited . . . but scared too. Upon reaching the cave where the monster was living, Blake and his grandfather went in. Blake's grandfather was surprised at the sight of the monster and what he saw in the cave.

One summer, Blake James was visiting his grandparents in Wheeling, West Virginia. It was a beautiful day as Blake and his mother and grandparents drove to a little church out in the country. The windows were open in the church and all of a sudden Blake started fanning his nose. There was an awful stench in the church. He whispered to his grandfather that somebody tooted. He and his grandfather got the giggles, and they couldn't contain themselves so they went outside. As they walked around the side of the church, they were surprised at what they saw and where the stench was coming from. I love those who love me, and those who seek me diligently find me. -Proverbs 8:17

THE BELOVED #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER—FROM THE AUTHOR OF HANG THE MOON The extraordinary, one-of-a-kind, “nothing short of spectacular” (Entertainment Weekly) memoir from one of the world’s most gifted storytellers. The Glass Castle is a remarkable memoir of resilience and redemption, and a revelatory look into a family at once deeply dysfunctional and uniquely vibrant. When sober, Jeannette’s brilliant and charismatic father captured his children’s imagination, teaching them physics, geology, and how to embrace life fearlessly. But when he drank, he was dishonest and destructive. Her mother was a free spirit who abhorred the idea of domesticity and didn’t want the responsibility of raising a family. The Walls children learned to take care of themselves. They fed, clothed, and protected one another, and eventually found their way to New York. Their parents followed them, choosing to be homeless even as their children prospered. The Glass Castle is truly astonishing—a memoir permeated by the intense love of a peculiar but loyal family. The memoir was also made into a major motion picture from Lionsgate in 2017 starring Brie Larson, Woody Harrelson, and Naomi Watts.
