Jaxon’s Magical Adventure with Black Inventors & Scientists
by Tamara Shiloh

In Jaxon’s Magical Adventure with Black Inventors & Scientists, the first book of this children’s book series, Jaxon discovers that the necklace his grandmother gave him before she passed away has magical powers. With a combination of the magical necklace and saying the magic words, Jaxon can see and talk to Black inventors and scientists. During this time, he is also playing the role of Dr. Martin Luther King in the school play celebrating Black History Month. However, Jaxon stutters when he is in front of a crowd and when he meets new people. He hopes he can find a way to overcome his fear before the day of the play.

Jaxon’s sister, who had the necklace before Jaxon, shares the rules of the necklace: he can only use the necklace three times per month, he will only be able to use the necklace until he is 16, he can never take off the necklace, and he needs to be very careful what he wishes for.

Jaxon soon finds out what his sister meant when she said to be careful what he wishes for. Can Jaxon get out of his mess before his parents find out?  Will he bomb on the day of the play?

Just Imagine…What If There Were No Black People in the World? Jaxon’s Magical Adventure with Black Inventors and Scientists is a wonderful, fun children’s book, by author Tamara Shiloh. It explains how the contributions of African Americans through inventions and science touch our lives every day.
