Oliver Caine has always been one to make a mess of things. His timid, food-loving pal Peter, on the other hand, is pretty good at toeing the line. The lads and Oliver's nagging, condescending half-sister Sarah unearth a mysterious book that changes their world from the moment they crack the spine. The three are suddenly thrust into a world where they're forced to outwit seven-foot lizards, a two headed Cyclops, and a sorcerer, who not only hides a dark past, but also has plans to dominate both worlds. Besides the help of a gentle wizard and the spirit-guarded Pool of Prophecy, Oliver, who is no stranger to trouble, must do what he does best in order to make things right again.

Through the exciting battles and hard-earned victories, the group slowly begins to change. The lessons they learn and share will come in handy now that they've become the guardians of the ancient book.

ForeWord Clarion Reviews writes, "Young readers who prefer fantasy with a contemporary feel should enjoy this book a great deal. It deserves a place on library shelves as an example of what can be done…a welcome change from the book clones of Tolkien and C. S. Lewis."

About the Author
William Kondylis's love for fantasy and adventure inspired him to write this work of fantasy for young readers. When his three children were younger, instead of reading various bedtime stories to them he would make up adventures using the same characters. "I used to end the stories on a cliff hanger and then continue the adventure the next night," says Kondylis. Moving around Sydney a lot as a child, Kondylis now resides in Sydney's culture hub – the Inner West. Kondylis is also a member of the Australian Society of Authors.
