About the Author, Margreit Maitland

 When my grandfather gave me the journal about my ancestor Robert's incredible trek across the world, it captured my imagination, and bringing his story of joy, heartbreak, and courage to life became a passion for me. My journey to becoming a published author has been filled with discovery. The most rewarding moments are when I hear from 

 When my grandfather gave me the journal about my ancestor Robert's incredible trek across the world, it captured my imagination, and bringing his story of joy, heartbreak, and courage to life became a passion for me. My journey to becoming a published author has been filled with discovery. The most rewarding moments are when I hear from readers how much they are engaged in Robert's story.

I wrote the series for readers age 9+ because I loved the idea of getting young readers excited about a true survival tale. Especially one set during such an amazing time, the Age of Sail.  

I created teacher guides for each novel to give educators tools and resources to build excitement for kids to learn more and apply that to everything else they are studying like geography, mid-19th century history, climate change, creative writing and the fascinating subject of naval navigation.  


Runaway at Sea and Adventurer At Sea are the perfect launching pad for learning.   


The teacher guides were the catalyst for me to develop more resources like my workbook series, "Writing Fueled By Imagination".  The series includes a comprehensive creative writing workbook filled with original activities, writing prompts and more to help kids ignite their inner story-teller.  There's more to come including workbooks for history, naval navigation and geography. I am thoroughly enjoy researching curriculum requirements and matching those to everything I create, all with the goal to provide teachers with easy go-to tools and for kids to really love exploring.
