Robert's books are recommended by US and Canada Radio, CBS Radio, Canadian TV, Canadian Forces Radio, Good Morning Canada, and too many newspapers across N. America to count.

Author, J. Robert Whittle (the handsome guy on poster!) came from total obscurity to write eight published novels in seven years--his natural talent for storytelling luckily surfacing while recuperating from a life-threatening knee surgery. more 

In the four books of the Lizzie Series, Whittle brings us a richly entertaining, old-fashioned coming-of-age story set in early 19th century England. He describes Lizzie as a girl who didn't have a father to educate her to the fact that in those days girls weren't supposed to think! Thus Lizzie turns out to be unusual for her time--a gifted, enterprising and spunky girl who by her own will, perseverance and intelligence, finds a way to survive. more
