The author

David Lamar

David Lamar writes stories for young readers who still believe attics are portals and that books are alive when no one is watching. The Traveler's Journal is his love letter to every kid who has ever stared at a closed door and wondered what was on the other side.

He writes deliberately short chapters, opens every book with something actually happening, and keeps the age range at 9–99 — because the best children's books have never really been only for children. Each book in the series stands on its own, so a reader can start anywhere and still land somewhere new.

"Brave kids deserve big worlds." — DL
