The Secret City

A Jonster the Monster and the Bear Adventure

De: B.E. Boucher

Narrado por: Steven Lloyd

B.E. Boucher is the author of the Jonster the Monster and the Bear trilogy. The Secret City is the second book in the series and continues the fantasy adventures of the author's beloved son, Geof "the Bear," who passed away in 2021 due to complications from brain cancer.

In The Secret City, to honor the spirit and values of his son, Boucher gives encouragement and hope to young people who are facing life-threatening illnesses, bullying, or other tests of the soul. Geof was an "I got this" battler and an inspiration to everyone he encountered. In the trilogy, the Bear teaches young people that the greatest challenges can be overcome with humor, imagination, and a never say die attitude.

A decades-long vegetarian, Boucher believes in the humane treatment of all sentient beings. Geof's four-legged Secret City friends repeatedly prove themselves to be not only valuable, but necessary partners if good is to triumph over evil. The author, with the support of his three dogs and two cats, continually searches for ways to promote the humane treatment of animals.

For younger people, Boucher also authored Grosswords: Gross, Scary and Weird Stuff, an anthology of short stories with long twists that highlight the eternal struggle of kids versus parents.

In addition to writing, Boucher owns the app, My Seeing Eye, invented by Geof. Like Geof's character in the trilogy, My Seeing Eye helps friends navigate their way through cramped situations.

Good adventure book

It’s a light hearted story about kids on an adventure! Great for any ages. It’s original magical realism so it’s definitely a unique take on the genre
