New children’s adventure turns a grandmother’s bedtime storytelling tradition into a tale of friendship, imagination, and history
Martinsburg, WV – Sep 17, 2026 – Children’s author Margaret Renda Adler has released The Secret Adventures of Preston and Bowie: Daniel Boone’s Cabin, a new adventure inspired by stories she first created for her on Amazon.
Long before Preston and Bowie reached the page, Adler was simply doing what her grandson preferred at bedtime: making up a story instead of reading one that had already been written. Knowing what held Preston’s attention and made him laugh, she began creating adventures specifically for him. Adler credits her grandson Preston and her daughter Marcia with inspiring the story that eventually became the book.
That personal beginning gives The Secret Adventures of Preston and Bowie much of its character. At the center of the story is 11-year-old Preston, a quick-witted boy who enjoys video games, spends time with his best friend Shep, and has always felt that animals understand more than people realize.
His familiar world changes after a storm, when a shaggy white dog named Bowie appears in circumstances that Preston cannot easily explain. Bowie is anything but ordinary, and his arrival is the beginning of an adventure that gradually carries Preston and Shep beyond the boundaries of the world they know.
The story blends fantasy, humor, and friendship with an unexpected connection to history. Rather than treating the past as something confined to textbooks, Adler brings historical curiosity into the adventure through the sights, sounds, routines and practical realities of another way of life.
The book’s appeal rests in that balance. Younger readers have a talking dog, friendship, mystery and an adventure that keeps moving. Parents and grandparents have a story that can lead naturally into conversations about history, observation, practical knowledge and the value of what one generation leaves for another.
One of the themes that develops through the story is the meaning of treasure itself. In Adler’s manuscript, value is not limited to gold, silver, or jewels. Memories, family, survival skills, and knowledge can also become things worth preserving for people who come later.
The book also arrives with an established online home. Adler’s official website introduces readers to the author and the world of Preston and Bowie, describing the story as a mix of fantasy, humor, friendship, outdoor adventure and historical curiosity.
With The Secret Adventures of Preston and Bowie: Daniel Boone’s Cabin now available, Adler is bringing a story that began within one family to children, parents, and grandparents looking for an adventure they can enjoy and talk about together.
