Two of Linda Salisbury’s books in the Bailey Fish Adventure series have won top honors.“Treasure in Sugar’s Book Barn,” won gold for Best Children’s Fiction in the President’s Book Awards sponsored by the Florida Publishers Association. And, her newest book, “Earthquake Surprise,” took a bronze medal in the prestigious Moonbeam Children’s Book Awards in the pre-teen fiction category.
The Bailey Fish Adventures are set at Lake Anna and combine contemporary fiction and realistic characters with some history or nonfiction. The earthquake book deals with the 2011 East Coast event and the story of Henry Box Brown, born in 1815.
“His amazing story of shipping himself in a box to freedom has already captivated my readers,” said Salisbury.
In addition to the gold medal, “Treasure in Sugar’s Book Barn” earned first place in the Virginia Press Women’s communications contest and received a silver medal in 2011 from the Moonbeam Book Awards. Read more…
Salisbury is also the author of “Mudd Saves the Earth,” a humorous environmental book for kids, and humorous books for adults: “Mother’s: A novel of hoarding, friending and mischief,” and “But You Don’t Look Funny.”
