Bruce Wayne Is Insane
Bruce Wayne had one vigilant eye on the birds while the other was shut. He was settled on the bench next to his mom as they both basked in the sunshine. It was a comfortable summer day slowly transitioning into the early evening.
Everything was secured so Bruce Wayne decided to lay down in the middle of the backyard to have a better view of it.
Something moved to his left that made him bolt up and run to whatever it was that caught his eye. It was a cat!
In this children’s fiction, find out what exciting adventure awaits these two!
Available at the Balboa Press Online Bookstore, Amazon and Barnes & Noble
