WALK: Jamie Bacon’s Secret Mission on the Camino de Santiago
Jamie Bacon has no idea he’s going to end up a hero. He’s just mad that his parents are making him walk 500 miles in Spain as part of their home-schooling plan. Come along as Jamie changes his mind, because every day on the Camino can be a surprise and an adventure. Follow him as he makes a secret deal with two pilgrims, meets a charging bull, stops vandals, and way more.
And then discover what he has carried, unwittingly, into Europe’s most famous pilgrimage city.
This is a rare book on an odd topic in an unusual setting. It's a book about school the way you never knew it could be, and travel without car, ship, or plane. It is written especially for kids in grades 5-9 and for al adventurers, age 15-95.

REVIEWS
"WALK ...was beautifully and sensitively written...[and] richly deserves to be read and enjoyed by many."
"I love the book. It follows a grand, fascinating tradition in children's literature of using fictional journeys to convey information. The best ones have plenty of drama along the way. And WALK has that! I cried at the end."
"A captivating adventure story involving history, legends, serendipity, loss, and surprise. I was swept away with the excitement of Jamie's quest across Spain. I absolutely loved it."
