REMINGTON & MAVERICK

A 22-book children’s adventure series built around Paul Lake, family, friends, boating, swimming, outdoor challenges and the joy of a big day outside. Every title remains in development until it clears ARQS Press editorial, artwork, metadata and production QA.

Editorially Reviewed Titles

A full Paul Lake day of boating, swimming, tubing and the pontoon slide, with teamwork, water safety and shared memories at the centre.

Editorial corrections completed for grammar, tense, wording and author-credit consistency.
Canadian spelling and the established ensemble cast preserved.
Release blockers remain: final art, cover, layout, rights, retailer metadata and rendered-file QA.

Book 02 — The Pontoon Slide Challenge

Second-pass editorial copy22-page manuscriptNot for sale

Second-pass editorial copy22-page manuscriptNot for sale

A tubing-day story about rider signals, turn-taking and clear communication so everybody can enjoy the adventure safely.

Release blockers remain: final art, cover, layout, rights, retailer metadata and rendered-file QA.

Book 04 — The Missing Paddle

Second-pass editorial copy22-page manuscriptNot for sale

A dock-and-shoreline search story about slowing down, looking carefully and working as a team when a paddle disappears before the afternoon outing.

Corrected the source’s malformed “child-friendly” text, missing articles and redundant outing wording.
Repaired the Page 11 tense/reference error and tightened Pages 6–16 so the search, discovery and resolution remain logically continuous.
Release blockers remain: final art, cover, layout, rights, retailer metadata, rendered-file QA and native-language QA for translated editions.

Book 05 — The Quiet Cove

Second-pass editorial copy22-page manuscriptNot for sale

A quiet-observation story at a sheltered Paul Lake cove, where slowing down and listening turns wildlife watching into its own kind of adventure.

Corrected missing articles, awkward objective wording and the Page 11 tense/reference mismatch between the loon call and the dog.
Tightened Pages 6–16 so lowering voices, listening and observing wildlife remain the continuous story arc while preserving the cast, setting and story heart.
Release blockers remain: final art, cover, layout, rights, retailer metadata, rendered-file QA and native-language QA for translated editions.
ARQS Press editorial gate: a book is not described as proofread unless the complete manuscript has been read. After corrections, the working copy receives a second complete read before it can advance to production QA. Translated editions require appropriate native-language QA and are not treated as final merely because the English source has been proofread.
