The latest press releases and information from David Konrad.
Los Angeles, California—International author David Konrad releases Portrait of a Robbery, the fifth book in his popular children’s books series, Project Adventure. Just in time for Summer, the pre-teen mystery book promises to be a hit with young readers. Portrait of a Robbery launches June 28, 2022.
The Project Adventure series begins with The Heart of the Island, in which Friends, Ethan and Matt seek to find a lost diamond. The next three books include Rumble at the Zoo, in which the boys meet Lisa, who joins the team for the rest of the series, The Courtside Mystery and The Scrapyard Shakedown. In each book, the heroes’ friendship, love for adventure and mystery- solving skills help save the day.
In the latest, Portrait of a Robbery, Ethan, Matt and Lisa embark on a train journey to the small town where Matt’s grandmother curates her valuable art collection on her beautiful estate. After being caught in a terrible storm that sets the garage ablaze and almost kills them, the detective team discover clues that bring them closer to solving the mystery of the missing Van Gogh.
Of the series, author David Konrad says, “Project Adventure is, of course, fiction and should be viewed as that. But I believe that kids today are a bit overprotected, and that a little bit of adventure, even if it is only on pages, is great for them. It might influence them to take more of an ‘active’ approach in life. To be accountable. To sometimes take chances. To be brave and self-confident, and to believe that things will work out in the end. I think that might be the most important message Project Adventure is trying to deliver.”
Portrait of a Robbery by David Konrad is currently available for pre-order on Amazon.

Recently, the animals at the Skywalk Zoo have been taking turns behaving weirdly and aggressively, scaring visitors away. Will they find out why the animals behave so strangely?

The Courtside Mystery: Ethan and Matt are looking forward to spending time at basketball camp, just playing. But as they arrive, they find out about a weird incident at a basketball game at their camp the week before. The police think it’s just an accident, but when Ethan becomes the victim of one of these accidents, they're left with no choice than to investigate. They need Lisa, the third member of their detective agency Project Adventure to help with background checks that might lead to solving the mystery.
The Scrapyard Shakedown: Ethan, Matt, and Lisa face freezing winter weather and sinister villains as they trace the shadowy figures lurking around the local scrapyard at the edge of town. The stakes are high, involving the rescue of their new friend Kalea’s dad.
