Desiring to provide stories for young readers that capture the imagination, encourage a sense of adventure, and lift the spirits, M. Turner began the children's detective series, Crab Missoulah, with his first book of the series, Crab Missoulah and The Mighty Ware Tree. The series features the thrilling adventures of Daniel Thompson and his two friends Herman and Violet Budge and their encounters with all of our favorite classic monsters.
