Transcription: 
Stranded is a kid’s adventure book series for kids about 7 to 12 years old and it’s about a blended family, a mom or a dad who get married and each had a son and a daughter and they see them on the sailing adventure and they end up shipwrecked and stranded on an island. So, it’s basically survivor for kids and the idea is what would you do if you really were stranded? And the premise behind it, the inspiration behind it, was to show kids you are more than you think you are. You’re as good as you imagine you might be because I have kids coming up to me all the time, who are fans of Survivor and they say, “I think I could do it” and I say, “I bet you can.” And that was really the idea behind the book and the response has been great because of that, because kids are reading and thinking “Mom, I think I really could do this. I could survive on an island.” It’s been incredibly rewarding.
