Publisher's Synopsis
A young lad from the village of Hometown grows bored with his life and decides to build a boat for going on a casual sail down a local river. But who could have possibly forseen that far more than that would happen? Before he and his group of friends can even begin to enjoy the relaxing trip, they find themselves thrust into overwhelming conflict.
Dangers begin to lurk all around as they move deeper into unknown locations, and soon, the small crew does everything from giving suspicious glances, to fighting for their very survival. Encounters occur with sea-traversing no-gooders; mythical beasts; strange guys who rhyme, wield forks, or wear loincloths; and of course, there may just be a questionably mysterious Wizard or two as well.
Even with all that, everything changes when a certain piece of fingerbound jewelry is located, and the lad's little vacation turns into a fantastic adventure of annoyingly epic proportions. One that could possibly be required to save Skiddle Earth and all life therein.
