Meet Tami Tripper, The Two-Wheeled Detective your adult literacy students will love! 🚲

Tami is a free spirit and a professional temporary employee. No full-time job is going to tie her down. She enjoys meeting new people, learning new skills, and observing human nature almost as much as she loves riding her trusty red bicycle, Ruby.

In this three-book series, Tami keeps pedaling straight into mysteries… and sometimes murder. Her talent for finding trouble might just be the key to solving each case.

Head to www.gemmamedia.org to grab your copies and follow along with every twist and turn!

Each book opens a door to confidence, opportunity, and the joy of reading that every adult learner deserves.

Your support helps emerging adult readers build skills and discover engaging, age-appropriate stories. 📖

We’re incredibly grateful for the literacy community and each of you who work so hard to make the dream of full literacy come true for so many.

Have your adult literacy students read QUEEN SERENE by Greta Gorsuch? 👑✨

One of Gemma’s most relatable characters, Queen is tall and beautiful. After her husband locks her out of the house, she finds a job driving a garbage truck across the plains of West Texas. She makes friends with her predominantly male coworkers and buys a home across from her 87-year-old grandmother. 🚛

Like a tender plant after a hard winter, Queen begins to put down roots and grow. But when her beloved grandmother is suddenly hospitalized, family drama begins, and Queen must find a way to stay serene. 🌱
