Atypical Escapades

I am Raphael Robinson, a student at North East High School in Maryland, and the author of Chronicles of Bones Island, The Black Tiger, and the series Guardians of Sunny Meadows. I write animal-centered adventure books for kids with real stakes: loyalty tested, plans made under pressure, and courage that grows one choice at a time.

I’m on the autism spectrum, and that shapes how I see and tell stories. I notice patterns, rules, and small signals—like how a group moves together, or how one decision changes the whole map. I couldn’t raise pets (my brother has allergies), so I raised animal worlds instead. With encouragement from my parents, those worlds became stories, and those stories became books for young readers who love animals, strategy, and heart.

Thank you. Please browse our library and support young authors by sharing the journey of the animal world
