SPECIAL SCHOOL OFFER
Schools are VITAL
“I have had wonderful experiences working with and reading to students in classes from grades five through twelve. Whether answering questions about the novels and offering writing tips to a class in Kitscoty via Skype, or enjoying vicarious thrills as kids laughed during excerpts of Buddy’s adventures at Glenlyon Norfolk in Victoria, Dorset College in Vancouver, and Berry Creek Community School in Cessford, the time spent was most rewarding.”
To make The Adventures of Buddy Williams series financially viable so that it and the accompanying STUDENT STUDY GUIDES might be used by teachers of English Language Arts with grades five through ten, or ESL students of any age, SummerWild Productions offers the following in return for a single payment of $250, plus a shipping and handling fee of $25:
- A class set of 31 copies of the novel of choice from The Adventures of Buddy Williams series, be it SummerWild, FallGently, WinterFree, or SpringRush.
- A class set of 31 copies of the matching STUDENT STUDY GUIDES with Teacher/Parent Answer Key.
- Up to three (3) hours of author-led Skype lessons for every class using the novel within the school, which comprises:
- a summary of the novel’s themes, elements, characters and figurative language;
- question and answer sessions; and,
- a creative writing seminar focusing on a process posed by W.O Mitchell.
The above offer applies to all books in the series, giving teachers the opportunity to offer the four novels sequentially, beginning in grade five, through to grade eight. Consider ordering your first set now!

SPECIAL LIBRARY OFFER
Libraries are CRUCIAL
“One of my favourite characters in the series is Gramma Davis, a retired Chief Librarian from the Buffalo Crossing Public Library. I deliberately gave her that role because of the crucial work librarians and their institutions contribute to the essential health of literacy. I found during my lengthy tours of Western Canada that some of my most enjoyable interactions with enthusiastic readers came when I read in schools and public libraries. To expand that experience in the future, I have siphoned off a significant percentage of the series’ inventory of complete book sets to sell to school and community libraries at cost. Revenues from these sales will be earmarked to fund additional community readings of Buddy’s adventures to young and old.”
SummerWild Productions is committed to encouraging adventurous pre-teens and nostalgic seniors to read The Adventures of Buddy Williams, a coming-of-age tale sprinkled with life lessons and natural and imposed consequences.
Complete sets of the series’ four novels, along with two STUDENT STUDY GUIDES (and reproduction permission for the guides’ content by clients), are now being offered to libraries for the impressive base price of just $20 per set! A shipping and handling charge of $20 is added to cover delivery and necessary taxes. The total promotional cost of $40 should afford any library the opportunity to make the series available to its clients.
Helpful to both parents of home-schooling children and to students of ESL programs, SummerWild, FallGently, WinterFree and SpringRush—and their STUDENT STUDY GUIDES—will be appreciated by a variety of readers young and old. Order a set for your community or school library now!

SPECIAL HOME-SCHOOLING OFFER
Home-Schoolers are WELCOME
“I was so very pleased, while at a bookstore on one of my tours throughout the Prairies, when a mother from Drumheller purchased a set of my series and its Student Study Guides for her two sons. One of her boys was a pre-teen and the other just into his teenage years. I was even more thrilled when the mother later wrote to tell me how much the boys enjoyed the books, and how she was thankful that she did not need to re-invent the wheel and create evaluative material on her own. I felt good that I—and my study guide co-producer, Robert Marthaller—had been able to entertain her lads and make her job as a parent-teacher a little easier.”
In order to make it easier for home-schooling parents to find appropriately designed educational material to assist their sons or daughters, SummerWild Productions offers a copy of any novel in The Adventures of Buddy Williams series and its accompanying STUDENT STUDY GUIDE for the one-time price of $20, with taxes, shipping and handling included. Plus, the author will conduct a one-hour Skype class with the student(s) and a parent for free. Schedule your value-added session today!
