Inhaltsangabe

Indie publishing your first book is always exciting, but in this case it is quite special, as Matthew is a young adult with autism. He wrote this book with the help of his tutor, Nancy Barth.    The Magic Quest tells the tale of a young man who must stop the Evil Wizard from getting his hands on a certain spell book and thus destroying the world. Magic spells, people-turned-animals-turned-people, detestable bad guys, humor, suspense; this book has it all and more. It is not only a gripping story, but a window into the mind of someone with autism. 

Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Matthew Schilling is a young adult with autism and a seizure disorder. He recently graduated from an adult transition program in the Clovis Unified School District. He now participates in a program through Arc Fresno, and is a member of the Arc Fresno Kiwanis Aktion Club. He enjoys drama, dance, cartooning and swimming. He has always wanted to write a book and, after a year of writing in collaboration with his tutor and co-author, The Magic Quest was born. The story began as a series of cartoons and is a demonstration of Matthew’s unique creativity. Nancy Barth hails from the mid-west and is now based in Fresno, close to her mother, two of her four daughters, and her grandson. She has worked for Fresno Unified, Tustin Unified (where she received two classroom mini-grants from the Tustin Public Schools Foundation and was twice nominated for teacher of the year), and herself. Currently she is an independent tutor for children with special needs, in particular those with dyslexia and autism; reads manuscripts for new and established authors; advises home-schooling parents on curriculum; and consults with clinics and charter schools. Nancy possesses California Credentials in Life Standard Elementary and Restricted Deaf/Hard of Hearing as well as CLAD, Resource Specialist, and Level 1 Handwriting Without Tears Specialist certificates.
