The Complete Marcus Journey Series: All Five Books

Five books. One boy. Age seven to age thirteen. Marcus Long has a great deal to say. Getting it out is the problem. These five short novels follow one boy through the years when language, reading, friendship, and then adolescence each ask something of him that his brain does not hand over easily. They were written by a developmental-behavioral pediatrician who spent thirty years sitting across from children like Marcus, and from the parents who came in exhausted. Nothing here gets fixed overnight. Marcus does not outgrow anything. He learns, the adults around him learn, and the hard mornings slowly become more workable. What you get, downloadable the moment you make your purchase. Every book comes as both a PDF and an EPUB, so it will open on a computer, a tablet, a phone, or an e-reader. The Space Between the Words (age 7). He knows the answer. The words will not come. When Stories Don't Make Sense (age 8). He reads every word on the page and still cannot tell you what happened. The Friendship Code (age 9). The rules of friendship are real, and nobody says them out loud. Lost In Translation (age 11). Middle school wants him to hold six instructions in his head at once. The Invisible Rules (age 13). The social world doubles in difficulty, and he is old enough now to understand exactly what he is missing. This bundle is the ebooks only. The paperbacks are printed and sold through the retail stores, so they cannot be bundled here. Buying this does not include a printed copy of any of the five. About the price. Bought one at a time on this site, the five ebooks come to $16.95. All five together are $12.99. Written by Patricia McGuire, MD, FAAP, a board-certified pediatrician and Fellow of the American Academy of Pediatrics.
