EAST, PUYALLUP, WA, UNITED STATES, August 25, 2023/EINPresswire.com/ — In Geronimo’s Laptop, the author explores Geronimo’s remarkable transformation from a master war strategist to a keen observer of how the white man thinks.

In this captivating historical fantasy novel, Hooper skillfully weaves together elements of history, fantasy, and humor to create a compelling narrative that both educates and entertains readers of all ages.

The book follows Geronimo’s relentless pursuit to overcome the opposition he faces from President Teddy Roosevelt, who harbors a deep disdain for Native Americans, particularly Geronimo. When he sees President Roosevelt isn’t going to release Geronimo and his band of Chiricahua Apaches, he uses his borrowed laptop to try to contact his old friend from Fort Apache, Lieutenant Gatewood, for advice.
