Daniel and the Jumbies is a fictional middle grade chapter book that playfully uncovers some of the mysteries of historical folklore of the Caribbean. This story takes readers of all ages on an adventure with a boy named Daniel who was uprooted from his home in Connecticut to a new and unfamiliar place called St. John, in the U.S. Virgin Islands. As Daniel makes big adjustments, he takes us all on a journey like no other, to a small, unique and exciting island in the Caribbean and into the minds and hearts of the fine locals who reside there. And on the way, he just might encounter a Jumbie, a special spirit who lives among the beauty of the islands and enriches the lives of those who are lucky enough to visit, even in our imaginations...

Jules (Julia Coffey Santella) is a freelance author/editor who currently resides in the Tampa Bay area of Florida with her husband and son. St. John is one of her most favorite places, and after seeing its incredible and unique beauty, she wanted to capture some of it and share a local folklore tale of Jumbies, who are spirits that prefer the laid-back island life. Although Jules has multiple articles and stories published in children's magazines and has worked on different publications for children and education, Daniel and the Jumbies will be her first in a series of even more about Daniel and his journey to this special place. Jules would like to express her sincere, heartfelt gratitude to all who have shown an interest in reading this book, and hopes that you enjoy it with your kids and even other adults and friends...
