Sure-foot Sam is a klutzy bank teller who desperately longs to be the next Indiana Jones. His intelligent, detail-oriented English bulldog, Sir Reginald Higgins, would much rather he not succeed–at least not in the adventure department. 

Much to Sir Reginald's dismay, Sure-foot Sam has been assigned a new project. Sam is to help the bank’s newest investor, a smooth-talking Aussie (that's a man from Australia), recover his family’s treasure. Which means Sure-Foot Sam and Sir Reginald are heading off to the Amazon rain forest. 

Along the way, Sure-foot and Sir Reginald encounter the Amazon’s diverse and dangerous wildlife, and learn that the investor is not all he appears.

Katie Pasek was inspired to write “Sure-foot Sam in Jeopardy” from a game her dad created.  Every Sunday morning during brunch, her dad would create a seemingly impossible situation and list the items the hero had at his disposal, then ask Katie and her brother to each come up with a possible solution. 

Katie is a graduate of Susquehanna University currently living near Philadelphia, Pa.
