Sir Licksalot & The Maverick Fools by D.L. Carroll
Frederick, MD February 28, 2008 -- PublishAmerica is proud to present Sir Licksalot & The
Maverick Fools by D.L. Carroll of Santa Clara, California.
Blaze N. Haught, once the most popular kid in fifth grade, becomes a loner when his parents
move from their big city condo to a beach house. His parents agree to adopt a stray dog, Sir
Licksalot, so long as Blaze promises to make an effort to meet new friends. Finding it difficult to
fit in with the neighborhood kids, Blaze competes in challenges to win their friendship. A
competition is underway when the boys notice their sisters and Sir Licksalot have disappeared
from the mysterious water fountain in Blaze’s backyard.
While searching for the girls and Sir Licksalot, the boys find themselves on a death-defying
adventure in Mavericks Extreme Water Cave. Who said, “Surf’s up”? Who will
survive?
