A fantasy that is for kids, especially those who spent some time being an adult.
Buchanan MacBane, much better known across the island as Buck, was one of those kids who thought more about having adventures than doing all those boring things teenagers were supposed to find fun, like being grown up, but Buck was no where near ready to split the difference between being a kid and being an adult. He decided long ago that growing up that much could wait until he was ... older, much older than his fifteen years, at least twenty. One of Buck’s favourite things to do was riding his bike exploring the island and on this occasion he just rode around until he found himself on the road to Barrie Island. It was lunch time and he decided he would ride out to Julia Bay and eat the sandwiches he had brought along...just in case. ...
Best description is to read the book
Surprise over took me like a shock wave and for a minute I sat there clutching the tiller so tight my fingers turned cold and white. How long I was frozen in time space and place I have no idea, but when I finally manage to pull my wits up straight the ship, obviously a pirate ship was bearing down on me and I new it would ram my little sail boat and crush it, and me too. And I had no idea if anyone on board was aware that I was even there. But more startling than that was I could see through it, belaying any doubt that I might have had that it was a ghost ship. ...

"Hi, I am Starlet," Starlet breaks the silence with an irresistible charm. "What is your name?" Dick remains silent. It is as he has lost his ability to speak. He is thinking very hard, but cannot remember his own name. The silence is getting too long. Dick finally remembers the flower bouquet. He brings it up with a wishful smile. "Oh, that is for me. That is so sweet. Thank you. They look gorgeous." Starlet closes her eyes, and inhales deeply to feel the scent of the flowers. The scent brings peace to her heart, a feeling that was lost to her. She smiles, and opens her eyes. "Your eyes, gorgeous." Dick finds himself saying that. This was not one of the lines that homeless Russell had taught him. He didn't even know why he said it. This was something inspired by Starlet's eyes, and demanded by their beauty....

PART ONE THE UNCANNY PROFESSOR 1 For Zender Light, being an orphan had never caused him one moment of discumbuberation. In fact it caused him to employ enjoyment with his uniqueness. But his life condition was only half the fun because he was also endowed with a unique physical appearance. Nothing that really stood out unless attention was drawn to it, which he did often because he like that condition of his appearance. His eyes. They were amber and multifaceted like a spider or fly or...well you get my drift. But that is not all that made him different. His ears. They looked a little like dragon's wings. ...

‘I must have the last gem of the Navigators, Vazhuthi said. ‘It alone will control the Oru Arrakan. The rulers of Kumari Kandam will fall at our feet.’ ‘Our scouts have found it, Holiness,’ said the assistant, his pocked face breaking into a smile. ‘A peasant-boy who dwells in the mountains to the north.’ ‘How came such a gem to this child?’ Vazhuthi said. Who are his parents? ‘We only know that his father is a Royal Forester.’ ‘It matters not. Order our assassins to kill him and take it.’ ‘And his father?’ ‘Kill anyone who stands in your way.’ ‘What is this village called?’ ‘Sailem, Holiness. It is called Sailem.’ Vazhuthi looked at his assistant with eyes dark as a moonless ocean. ‘Kill the whole village if you have to. They are of no consequence.’ The assistant priest shivered and pulled his black robes tighter, stepping backwards and bowing. Vazhuthi closed his eyes and focussed his mind on the gem that he so desired. Yet in the depths of his mind, he felt some unseen power protecting the boy. He did not like unknowns. Unnerved, he left the chamber, his trembling assistant in tow. That night as Kumari Kandam slep...
