\"\"<\/figure>
\n

In 2014, Maika went on a class field trip to the Bay of Fundy’s Hopewell rocks.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Inspired by the stunning environment and looming caves, she wrote a brief adventure story about two girls on their own field trip, with a magical twist. Originally a summer project, the story was picked up by Redemption House Publishing and became the first edition of Calagarmii Cliffs – the Hidden World.<\/em> She was Eleven when the book was released. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
