From the author of the Pegasus series comes a spellbinding first book in a new fantasy series for fans of Rick Riordan and Shannon Messenger following two cousins whose summer vacation gets swept away by a storm that lands them on the lost island of Atlantis. The last way that Riley Evans wanted to spend spring break was studying whales on the family sailboat in the middle of the Bermuda Triangle. With only her dad, aunt, and annoying cousin Alfie for company, she is so bored staring at the waves that she's starting to see mermaids between them. But when their boat is capsized during a sudden storm, Riley finds more excitement than she bargained for as she and Alfie are washed ashore with neither of their parents in sight. Where they've been shipwrecked is no deserted island, though. Atlantis is a place beyond imagination, inhabited by both people and incredible creatures ranging from unicorns and gargoyles to talking animals. But not everyone welcomes the cousins' arrival, and beneath the wonder of this mythical land lurk dangerous secrets-something strange is happening to the inhabitants. What Riley wants more than anything is to find her father and go home. But the closer she gets to this goal, the more the islanders seem determined to keep her from reaching it. As Riley and Alfie unravel the mystery of Atlantis and its most terrifying part, the Forbidden Zone, they realize that the clock is ticking. If they can't learn what happened to their parents and find a way off the island soon, it may be too late to leave.

In a person's life they find themselves in memorable situations that bring them close to others. Some of my most memorable moments occurred with all my grandchildren when I was able to share time with them through these stories. The memorable times occurred in telling them stories about Silver Eagle's adventures. The stories would develop during the telling and of course after the particular adventure was over the discussions continued with them and what Silver Eagle was going to do on his next adventure. The story telling produced immediate reaction from the grandchildren from hiding under the covers to falling asleep when the fifth word was out of my mouth. But in all cases the story telling was always requested before bedtime.

It is the great memories of the shared times and the encouragement of the grandchildren, children and my wonderful wife, Mary, that I have begun to write some of the stories. Hopefully they can be enjoyed by all children.

The goal of printing this book is to encourage and excite all children to open their minds through reading and enjoy what the mind does in creating images as the stories unfold. I hope that your time reading these short adventures of "Silver Eagle, the Legend" is enjoyable and a start to the reading of all the great books, novels and stories both fiction and non-fiction that will be your eyes to the world.
