The first chapter of Norma Charles’s new book Run, Marco, Run! is posted on the Ronsdale Press site and ready for reading.

Norma Charles was one of the first B.C. children’s authors I ever met. (I saw her speak at a panel at UBC’s Booming Ground workshops.) I thought — and still think — she’s the bees knees.

I double dog dare you to read the excerpt without wanting to read the whole book!
