The Bubblegum Queen

When I think of gum, I always think, Yum! They don't call her the Bubblegum Queen for nothing! In this bouncy, bubbly tale, a young girl gets more than she bargained for as her precious gumball goes rolling away on a grocery store rampage. Chock full of delicious rhyme and zany wit, The Bubblegum Queen is a giggly, lip-smacking adventure. Beverly Anne Bowman attended Appalachian State University where she earned her degree in English with a concentration in literature. After graduating, Beverly became a flight attendant for Piedmont Airlines and began a career that lasted thirty-five years. At age forty-nine, Beverly decided to continue her education and enrolled at Gardner-Webb University. She simultaneously acquired her bachelor's and master's degrees in elementary education. Beverly retired from flying in 2017 and is now a teacher. She sees her students as her greatest inspiration for writing children's books.
