Cindy Davis and Ali Rollason Release 'We're Doing WHAT for Summer Vacation?'

In "We're Doing WHAT for Summer Vacation?" (published by AuthorHouse), authors Cindy Davis and Ali Rollason take readers on a nonfictional journey as they follow a family as they travel across Borneo.

Readers meet Ali, a typical 9-year-old American girl, whose summer dreams of spending time laying on a beach in Florida are shattered when her parents decide the family is going to Borneo. Her parents, former hippies, want a big summer adventure. This, however, is not the big adventure Ali wanted.

Once on her way, Ali finds herself living in a tree house; encountering bedbugs; learning about Muslim culture; eating strange food; going whitewater rafting; getting trapped in a stairwell alone, which makes her think she is being kidnapped; trekking in the jungle; experiencing leeches; staying with the locals in their houses; finding real skulls from headhunters; discovering an island of lost children, and scuba diving with turtles bigger than she was.

An excerpt from the book:

"As we were walking down the path, Zak yelled, 'Move, Ali!' I turned around and an orangutan was walking right beside me. I stepped aside so he could get around me. Then another orangutan walked right by Zak. It was like they were following us and walking back and forth past us. I could have reached out and touched the cute little orangutan (well, not so little)."
