Who Stole My Letter?

From that moment on, her lett er traveled surrepti ti ously and intenti onally, from one ‘thief’ to another ‘thief’. Mrs. Carter, Carlett a’s teacher, does her best, but she is helpless and without a clue as to how to recover the lett er.

About the Author

Henry L. Jones is a reti red science teacher. I acquired my educati on and professional training through Indiana University in Bloomington, Indiana. I began my teaching career in the fall of 1960. I taught general science, earth science and biology to middle and high school pupils. I also worked for twenty-three summers as a seasonal ranger interpreter at Indiana Dunes Nati onal Lakeshore Park. My experiences with children in the classroom and in the natural environment fueled my desire to write for children. I’ve always had a love for literature, and as an avid reader, I always allowed my imaginati on to take me into other worlds. My imaginati on is sti ll at work and I hope to bring other stories forth in the future.
