About the Book

Around the World in 80 Putts is a fantasy adventure that sends the main character, Brandon, on a game of miniature golf around the world. Tagging along for the ride is Brandon's pet bunny rabbit.  Bunny rabbit does not play miniature golf, but he finds other ways to enjoy himself as the two of them make their trek across continents and oceans. Along their journey the pair putt their way past icebergs, pirates, volcanoes and national monuments. And, like all successful trips, they eventually make it back to home sweet home.
