In An Unexpected Exploit, continue the journey with your favorite characters from Myrtle Beach and meet some new ones. NSA agent, Winston Raleigh, is still keeping watch over the town, while Jack Collins makes a fresh appearance. This time, the kids and Winston follow Sasquatch into Shinwano, but so does Jack Collins! Watch out, Shinwano; Jack’s after all the magical creatures and artifacts he can collect–and will stop at nothing to get them!

The teens help Franklin and make some new friends along the way. You’ll enjoy several mythical creatures in Shinwano–fairies, dragons, unicorns, brownies, and of course, bigfoot!

An Unexpected Exploit Blurb

Protect a mythical realm or his family?

Sixteen-year-old Franklin follows a Sasquatch through a portal to the realm of Shinwano and discovers a world full of mythical creatures he never expected to actually exist. Upon returning to Myrtle Beach, Oregon, he vows to protect the land, not realizing how difficult it will be to keep his promise, especially when a poacher, a NSA agent, and his friends are interested in the portal—and all for different reasons.

When the poacher threatens his family, Franklin must reconsider his vow to protect this new world to keep his family safe. The consequences of his decision reach further than just a rift in the space-time continuum.

Can Franklin live up to the trust placed on him and save this new world from an even greater danger?
