I love visiting schools to talk about The Adventures of Charlie Pierce and share more about the history behind these compelling stories. This morning, I had the honor of a lifetime making an author visit to my daughter’s school.

The children’s book The Last Egret, written by Florida author and attorney Harvey Oyer, has joined classics like Black Beauty, Heidi, The Legend of Sleepy Hollow and Winnie-the-Pooh in the “Back to School Reading List,” a list compiled in 2020 by Florida Commissioner of Education Richard Corcoran.

Join author Harvey Oyer at the iconic Jupiter Lighthouse as he recounts the real-life stories behind his best-selling books The American Jungle and The Last Egret.

Ten children deliver a creative storytelling experience at the Ann Norton Sculpture Gardens’ tropical jungle. Each student reads a chapter aloud of The Adventures of Charlie Pierce, The American Jungle by Harvey E. Oyer III. Watch the videos here!

Local historian and author Harvey Oyer III was at the Flagler Museum Saturday to sign copies of his new book, “Charlie and the Tycoon,” the fifth in his series of children’s books, “The Adventures of Charlie Pierce.” The book is set in 1893 Palm Beach as Henry Flagler is building the Hotel Royal Poinciana.

The Stranahan House Spotlighted author Harvey Oyer’s The Last Egret, a book that brings Florida’s history to life for Broward county’s 4th graders. The 4th graders learn about Florida’s history and visit the locations described in the book.
