INLET (NY) - Adirondack Kids Press announces the release of tis 11th book in 11 years, The Adirondack Kids #11 - The Fall of Fort Ticonderoga.
In this brand new adventure, summer is over and beloved characters Justin, Jackie, Nick and Dax team up in autumn to lead a reenactment of the capture of Fort Ticonderoga.
"Some people saw the title of our 10th book, The Final Daze of Summer, and thought we were done with the series!" [the real] Justin said. "We just wanted to start writing stories with the Adirondack Kids having adventures in the fall and winter and spring."
"This one was a lot of fun to write," said Gary, co-creator of the series. "We were surprised when we learned there was a reenactment held by students at the actual fort, which totally dovetailed with our original story idea."
"My mom and dad were able to meet the teacher in Vermont and the education director at the fort who organized the whole event," Justin said. "We even watched a video a local television station did of the kids in action."
 Justin & Reggie at Adirondack Reader, Inlet "That's right, " Gary said. "So, along with providing an action-packed adventure story that is simply a lot of fun to read, our hope with this book is to inspire students and teachers to consider putting together a reenactment of this historical event in their own schools and communities."
"And even to try and visit the actual fort," Justin said.
The Adirondack Kids #11 - The Fall of Forth Ticonderoga, is illustrated by Carol VanRiper with a full color wrap-around cover by Susan Loeffler, which the VanRipers consider one of her best.
"Sue really did an outstanding job on this cover," Gary said. "The action and colors are stunning."
The VanRipers will be touring the Adirondack Park during the summer, with school and library visits already being lined up for the 2011-2012 school year. Check out Appearances on this website.
As for what's in store for The Adirondack Kids® #12?
"Well," Justin said, and smiled. "We're pretty sure it's going to be set in the winter."
