Explore An Unexpected Escapade to allow your dreams to fly! From Oregon Coast Magazine:Kandi Wyatt's Myth Coast Adventures Trilogy begins with the book, An Unexpected Adventure, which opens in the mythical small town of Myrtle Beach, Oregon, when four intrepid eighth-graders stumble upon a mysterious egg while beachcombing. What follows is an exciting journey as the kids attempt to thwart a national security agent while keeping the town safe from a rather fiery dragon. "The idea for this series came from watching several of my students who didn't feel empowered and a couple more who hated to read," says Wyatt, a teacher who lives on the south coast. "As I contemplated that, I crossed the Coquille River at Bandon and had an image of a dragon flying along the bank. From there I knew I needed to write a story for those kids." In her second installment in the trilogy, An Unexpected Escapade, Ana and Daisy have been friends since third grade, but they are forced to choose between friendship and family when a unicorn waltzes into their lives. The third book in the trilogy, An Unexpected Exploit, is due out in September. Even as a young girl, Kandi J Wyatt, had a knack for words. She loved toread them, even if it was on a shampoo bottle!
