This fun little book is all about growing up in a remote corner of Canada during the 1950's. That part is nonfiction. Every thing that Grey does in the home setting, Alton Ontario, Canada, is factual. He hooks on bobsleighs, gets shot in the butt, finds a frozen body in a remote barn, rides ice floes, and more. But he is different from other kids and this takes him to another world where he finds the love of his life. After experiencing adventures on Delphi he meets his mentor, Apeluzar, who happens to be a wise ass dragon but also an intellectual. He returns home to Alton and takes up the reins of his hereditary roll on earth as a Guardian. This includes a place on the board of several international advisory groups and also a family fortune to manage.
