About this title

About the Author

Eileen Wacker's journey to become a children's book author took a circuitous route. She moved with her husband and their four children to Seoul, South Korea, and lived there for four years. The family traveled extensively across Asia, visiting many countries, most frequently China and Japan. Eventually they settled in Honolulu, but Eileen continued to visit Japan and Korea as her husband was still commuting to Seoul for his job. In Seoul, she ran the school's book program, sparking her interest in children's books. One of her children is Chinese and after researching the market, she discovered a shortage of quality children's books drawing upon pan-Asian themes. She decided to develop a book series with Asian characters for the mainstream children's book market (in English language children's books). In 2007 she conceived of what developed into the Fujimini Island Adventure series.
