Review & Description

RAVENCRAFT: AND THE ELIXIR OF LIFE is a story of hidden truths and deception blended with a hint of Hawaiian mythology. Michael must weave his way through the chaos, escape shape shifters, mind travel to the past, save his family and still make it home for dinner.

Eleven Year Old Michael Ravencraft wakes up each morning dreaming of being a Secret Agent. The spy school he’ll be attending is only open in the summer. Until then he must endure the humdrum life of an adolescent, nothing special. But Michael isn’t just an average kid, he’s a rare being and he doesn’t even know it. The very blood that pulses through his veins is sought-after by others. Whatever their desire is to possess Michael, it’s something they’re willing to kill for. Not knowing the danger that lurks around him, Michael continues on with his normal existence until he hears rumors that something strange is occurring; shape shifters have been sighted around his hometown of Stormy Bay. He ignores the far-fetched gossip not realizing the truth is right in front of his face. When he finds out his father might be alive, Michael shelves his ambition to be a Secret Agent and becomes driven to find him. With the help of his sister, Isabella, his best friend Critter, and their irritating babysitter, Amanda, they find themselves on the most perilous quest of all. Most of the town folks are acting like robots, and a strange statue of the Hawaiian Demigod Mamala has suddenly appeared in the center of town. Is this a symbol of what’s to come? The closer Michael gets to the truth about his Father the faster he must run for his life. Enter into the world of Michael Ravencraft as he discovers the truth about his past and solves the greatest mystery of all… what is he? It’s not every day you find out you’re not human.

The main character, Michael Ravencraft is written in first person. This allows the reader to become part of the story enhancing their experience. RAVENCRAFT: AND THE ELIXIR OF LIFE is a Young Adult Mystery, Adventure and Fantasy Novel, easy-to-read and suitable for all ages.

From the Author: Ravencraft is still my favorite book I've ever written. When I wrote this book, I wanted a book that gave the reader a glimpse into yesteryear, a traditional book that captured the reader's imagination placing them into a world of fantasy, mystery, suspense and adventure. I tried to do what ever I could to place the main character Michael Ravencraft into danger and still he survives. To make the book even more personal, Michael is written in first person allowing the reader to become part of the story enhancing their experience. This is not a small book, it's over 86,000 thousand words with 362 pages, but still easy-to-read and suitable for all ages. Ravencraft is filled with twist and turns that I know you will enjoy but figuring out the truth isn't going to be as-easy-as you might think. So I hope you enjoy the book because it's a series and Ravencraft: And the God of War is expected to be released sometime in 2012.
