Featured Interview on CVM at Sunrise
Before The Preke Town Chronicles became a series, Gary O. Thompson appeared on Jamaica’s CVM Television to discuss the vision behind creating positive Jamaican stories for young readers and preserving our cultural heritage through contemporary storytelling.
PREKE TOWN: IN A MERICA
When Glad Bag, Rosy, Yap Yap, and Lay Lay leave Jamaica for an unforgettable summer in America, they expect excitement, new experiences, and plenty of adventures.
What they don’t expect are strange sights in the woods, mysterious red eyes watching from the darkness, and a growing sense that something isn’t quite right.
As the friends explore unfamiliar places, they find themselves caught in a mystery that seems to follow them wherever they go. The more questions they ask, the more secrets they uncover. Soon, curiosity turns into danger, and the children must rely on their courage, friendship, and quick thinking to face challenges far beyond anything they imagined.
Set against the backdrop of a life-changing summer journey, Preke Town: In A Merica is a thrilling middle-grade adventure filled with suspense, humor, unforgettable friendships, and the heart of multicultural storytelling.
Perfect for readers who enjoy mysteries, adventure, and stories where ordinary children find themselves at the center of extraordinary events.
PREKE TOWN: BEING GOOD IS NOT SO BAD
When four children, Carlton, Jonathan, Maleek and Rosy are forced to leave their homes, they have very low expectations of the new town to which they are moving. It is so far far away, and despite the fun their parents tell them to expect, they need to see it to believe it.
Once there, they’re soon excited by the beautiful playground and the adventures to be had. Little do they know, however, that beneath the surface of Preke Town, the place they now call home, lies in hiding an evil force and an ugly green creature.
On one dark, stormy night while the children were all alone, the evil one came out of hiding. From the shadows of the earth beneath appeared the big green creature with sharp yellow eyes, shiny teeth and large wings!
The screams of the children are heard. Will the evil force and the creature destroy the children and their new home? Will someone come to their rescue, or will the children be brave and strong enough to defeat the evil one and his creature? Let’s see what awaits them in Preke Town.
Perfect for readers who enjoy mysteries, adventure, and stories where ordinary children find themselves at the center of extraordinary events.
