The Amazing Captain K

by Christine E. Schulze

Overview

A nonverbal girl and a boy in a rocket-powered wheelchair go on a zany outer space adventure in this picture book celebrating diversity and special needs!

Kane and Kaylee, the notorious "K" pirates, fly their magic ship all over outer space looking for star sparkles and food. LOTS of food. So when their ship crash lands on a moon made of candy, you'd think they were in heaven.

But someone else has landed there too: Claire and her crew of "C" pirates. Claire isn't willing to share so much as a single peppermint with anyone, certainly not with pirates whose names start with "K."

However, not all of Claire's crew feels the same way. With the help of the inventive Cash, can Kane and Kaylee show Claire that being different isn't all that bad—that in fact, being different can be downright amazing?

Join the "C" and "K" crews on their crazy space adventure to find out!

The Amazing Captain K was inspired by the author's work with adults who have autism and other special needs. This book celebrates people of all abilities, including those who are nonverbal, speak with sign language, or use a wheelchair. Twenty-five percent of all profits from this book goes to ALFA, a charity helping adults with autism in Southern Illinois live fuller and more abundant lives. This book is an updated version of The Amazing K.

About the Author

Christine E. Schulze has been living in castles, exploring magical worlds, and creating fantastical romances and adventures since she was too young to even write of such stories. Her collection of YA, MG, and children's fantasy adventure books, The Amielian Legacy, is comprised of series and stand-alone books that can all be read separately but also weave together to create a single, amazing fantasy.

One of her main aspirations for The Amielian Legacy is to create fantasy adventures with characters that connect with readers from many different backgrounds. Her current focus is to include racially diverse characters and also those with disabilities. The latter is inspired by Schulze working with adults with autism and other developmental disabilities at Trinity Services in Southern Illinois. She also donates 25% of all royalties to ALFA, a local charity that supports many of Trinity’s programs.

Schulze draws much of her inspiration from favorite authors like Tolkien and Diana Wynne Jones, favorite games like The Legend of Zelda, and especially from the people in her life. Some of her exciting ventures include the publication of her award-winning Bloodmaiden, as well as The Stregoni Sequence and The Chronicles of the Mira with Writers-Exchange. Her books for younger readers include In the Land of Giants and The Amazing Captain K.
