MISSION: SEE
concept cover art
A Middle-Grade Contemporary Novel
A novel with a deeply personal inspiration
Some things are hard to see... as if they are invisible. A green toy soldier in the grass, the truth about an accident, a motorcycle on the road.
For Kane, Lennox, and Hattie, that invisibility becomes terrifyingly real when a series of accidents and near-misses changes their families forever. Now, they're on a mission: to win the state's first-ever Safety Slogan Showdown with a message so powerful it can save a life.
But their mission faces its own collision course when the truth about the accident is revealed, threatening to shatter their team —and their friendship — before they even design their first poster. Can three kids find a way to make the world see what’s right in front of them?
Come along on their mission of hope, healing, and empowerment.
The story is written. The message is clear. Now it's time to find the right agent to help MISSION: SEE reach classrooms and readers nationwide.
MISSION: SEE
A Story That Teaches Kids to Truly See
Why it matters:
Every year, lives are changed forever by motorcycle accidents—not because drivers don’t care, but because they don’t see. MISSION: SEE began with one simple but powerful idea: if we can teach kids to notice motorcycles before they ever drive, we can help prevent tragedies before they happen.
The Heart of the Story:
At its core, MISSION: SEE is a heartfelt middle-grade novel about three friends torn apart by a motorcycle accident—the victim’s son, the driver’s daughter, and the friend caught in between. Through their journey of forgiveness, understanding, and awareness, readers learn how to look beyond themselves and see the people and moments that truly matter. It’s a story that doesn’t lecture—it lets kids feel, and those feelings build lasting awareness.
How it Works:
Instead of teaching with warnings or statistics, MISSION: SEE uses emotional memory to shape real-world habits. When kids connect with characters, they begin to internalize the story’s message: look closer, pay attention, and never assume you see it all. This emotional “muscle memory” helps prepare them to be safer, more mindful drivers long before they ever get behind the wheel.
The Bigger Mission:
MISSION: SEE isn’t just a book—it’s a movement toward a safer, more empathetic generation. By combining storytelling with safety education, it offers schools, parents, and communities a powerful new way to teach awareness, empathy, and responsibility on the road.

Author's Note
The mission in this book is one that is very close to my heart. While Kane, Lennox, and Hattie carry the banner of ‘Team KLH’ in these pages, the inspiration for this story is a tribute to a remarkable soul lost in a motorcycle accident: Kevin Lucas Howard, a man whose infectious laugh was matched only by his love for the open road. This book is dedicated to his memory. It is my deepest hope that stories like this can help ‘make people see’ and prevent other families from facing a similar loss.
