My New Children’s Book Is Now Available – And It Is Free!

I’m thrilled to announce that my first children’s book, The Pest Detectives, is published online and ready for you to download and enjoy with your children.

Millie - The Pest Detectives

You may be surprised to hear that “The Pest Detectives” book is completely FREE.

Yes, I’m so excited that each of you can download this digital book for free on whichever format or platform you prefer and read it today with your kids.

The Pest Detectives

The Pest Detectives is an illustrated children’s book funded by the National Pest Management Association to be available for free to all children so they can have fun learning about the fascinating world of insects, entomology and the pest management profession.

I loved writing the story of Millie, an 8-year-old budding-entomologist, who solves real-life pest mysteries with her father, a pest professional. Millie shares stories of their past pest investigations through drawings, photos and notes in her scrapbook. Then Millie and her dad take the reader on a new case to determine the secret behind Mrs. Romero’s pest problem.

The talented Colleen Madden brings the story to life through her fabulous illustrations.

    I love it!! I downloaded the pdf after reading the online digital one. Good job, Susan! I could see this as a hard bound book on a table at Barnes and Noble.

    It says it is 99 cents in the Kindle Store? Is that right? I thought you said it was free.

      Hey Lorie, yes in the Kindle store it is .99 cents because that is the minimum they will let it be priced. But all the other formats are free to download.
