About this ebook
Summary: An awful mistake begins a summer-long crazy, great, and tragic adventure to search for clues to solve a mystery, and pure optimism in spirit and song maintains hope for forgiveness and success.
Chisel's whole summer will turn out to be one perilous adventure after another, in places like the jungles of Volcano Island, The Haunted Woods, Look Around Mountain, and The Cave of the Tooth.
Chisel will have to develop plans of escape including disguises #1, 2, and 3, use his flying skateboard hot-air-trash-bag-balloon-plane, and create the worst stink bomb recipe in the world to subdue his pursuers. He must overcome his own fear, and despair, always looking on the bright side of life by singing his songs of optimism. Then when all seems lost he must decide whether to follow mysterious images that appear to him.
Each day follow Chisel on the Master Map, listen to the songs he sings, and enjoy the pure "hootbalootin" fun, adventure, and optimism. Then journey with Chisel as he builds the world's largest tree house (to shoot tomatoes at the Flying Squirrels with his giant sling shot), discover with him how to make gum with amazing flavors like buttered popcorn and pepperoni pizza, and see if he can find the treasure of Pootan's Forest.
Then envision Chisel saying, "Hope is free, and hope is mine, today I grab it and will not let go! And if anyone has lost it, come see me. I have plenty you can borrow."
You'll find all this and more in Chisel Hedgehog's tragic, but amazing, Crazy Great Summer!

The Chisel Hedgehog book series reminds me of when I once rose in a plane above rain and lightning to a beautiful blue sky atop a sea of cotton balls. I knew then that wherever we are, in whatever tough circumstances, life is better "somewhere" else -- and that somewhere is often a state of mind. That's when I moved from music producing to writing the Chisel Hedgehog series -- as fun, adventurous books for children with a positive theme, and music integrated into them. I find my creativity while experiencing the best things in life -- which are free: the sound of the ocean, the view at the top of a mountain, the wind on my face. It's been fun writing about it. Life is good.

Introduction
"I need you to find someone for me."
"Then get out your money, we’re not cheap! Who do you want us to find?"
"Have you ever heard of Chisel Hedgehog?"
Anger covered the Mean Minks’ faces and Milford snarled, Don’t you ever mention that name in front of us again!
"Why’s that?" asked Mr. Otter.
"Because of that thing—that happened back then."
Mr. Otter gulped. How much would it cost to catch . . . uh—that guy?
Milford was too mad to answer, so his brother slowly replied, That guy is free!

"For me, meeting Chisel was one of the highlights of the year. What I expected to be a pleasant editing project turned out to be an adventure in the hidden world around us. Though far from being a book that preaches, there are embedded lessons--simple truths that have proven applicable throughout time and cultures. The animals of Chisel’s world learn that a good heart prevails though life’s journey may be hazardous. This is a fun, upbeat book that children of all ages will enjoy." Lynda Lotman

tmp_aa919ce69b2081799b2e7c5d558b796a_9yjMgS_html_70cb0098.jpgWednesday, June 2, 11 a.m. Flying in the sky, a fly passed high above farms, pine trees, and a river. Then it was sucked into a large swirling mass of wind. Leaves and cloudy air whizzed by it, and the fly began turning and tumbling wildly until suddenly it was blown out the other side—like a spit wad shot out of a tube.
The sky it was blown into looked very different from the other side. It was rainbow-colored. The fly was dizzy and fell down toward the ground, until it landed on handlebars attached to a pole that was connected to a skateboard. A fan was attached to the end of the skateboard, and wings were sticking out of the bottom sides of it.
Looking at the flying skateboard was a hedgehog who looked to be about eight years old. He was wearing blue pants, a lime green T-shirt, orange suspenders, and wearing a purple backpack. Chisel Hedgehog then turned and went inside the house.
Oh, there you are, Chisel,
