Vantastic

Vantastic is a fictional 40,000 word middle grade adventure novel. After Tom Ossum's impulsive purchase at a questionable used car dealership, his kids Norm and Nora are excited to go on a maiden voyage in their family's new retro camper van. Little do they know, this is no ordinary van-it once belonged to a genius inventor that mysteriously went missing thirty-five years ago. But before their trip can even begin, their mother, Samantha, gets kidnapped by a massive one-eyed mutant ogre! With Tom at the helm, the Ossums must chase after the ogre in their new ride, learning along the way that this van is more incredible than they could have ever imagined. Will their new "vantastic" vehicle be enough to help them rescue Samantha from the ogre before he traps her in his lair deep within Demon's Peak?
