Camping is Magical Nine year old Snicks is enjoying a lovely vacation with her family in the heart of the Grand Tetons. Until She finds a magical stick and a cause—to take on and defeat the powerful Mountain Lord. Does she have the courage and fortitude to square off against the evil being and his overwhelming army? Can she save the forest and the animals from being taken captive by the creature intent on ruling and destroying all humankind? “Snicks”—A story where camping truly is magical!
Rick was born into a family of writers, and raised in a home filled with a love of words and learning, which has lent greatly to Rick's own style and works (his dad was an author in his own right, some of whose writings can be found at Rick's website www.RickSimnitt.com). Rick served in the England, Coventry LDS mission, then later moved to Boise, Idaho to help with his extended family. There he met his wife Heather and they were married in the Boise, Idaho LDS temple. They have three terrific children and currently reside in Kearns, Utah.
Rick loves music, woodworking, reading, serving in his church callings, and, of course, writing.
Very imaginative and fun! An ordinary camping trip turns into a magical discovery leading to a battle for truth. Great for pre-teen audiences. Grammatical and spelling errors distract from the story in places.
