The Misadventures of Mel B - Published 2012, by Mirror Publishing
Mel B, aka Melanie Brooks, a free-spirited, fearless 10 year old girl, is always ready to have fun. The friendly girl recruits her neighbor Donte Diaz, on an adventure that the two of them will never forget. While exploring her grandmother's attic, the two uncover a play area that they could only dream of- a wooden carrousel in one corner, a giant chalkboard on one wall, a metal teeter-totter, and shelves of mysterious books. While navigating the attic they notice a book on one of the shelves with its pages turning by itself. The fearless girl quickly discovers why this book is special, as both Donte and Mel B fall into the pages of the book, and become encompassed by a world of dinosaurs and an endless jungle. Their misadventures take them from being chased by a hungry Tyrannosaurus Rex, to sliding down the long neck of a brontosaurus, to living in a tree house as they try to find their way back home!
** The Misadventures of Mel B has been adapted into an animated screenplay and is currently being pitched to production companies!
