Misadventurous

by S.A. Tawks

‘Every day something unexpected happened. Every day was exciting. Every day was a misadventure.’

Misadventurous is the fourth book in The Sibyl Saga.

A misadventure has no apparent purpose. Only a misadventurer can understand why they choose a certain misadventure. To be misadventurous is to be selfish. Being misadventurous requires a sacrifice of reputation. The size of the sacrifice depends on the extent of the misadventure. For a misadventurer, reputation is of no concern. A misadventurer's only concern is doing something memorable. Something worth talking about.

Percy has been mistreated and misinformed for most of his childhood. His mother has moulded him into someone she wants him to be. Experiences out of the sight of his mother's eye allow him to discover there is more to life than what he has been taught. He discovers that the future his mother has been building is not for him. By being misadventurous, Percy sets out to create his own future.

For Percy, the ultimate misadventure is traveling from Brisbane to Cape York Peninsula by any means necessary. Many mini misadventures are had on the journey north to the unspoiled wilderness. Each one helps shape Percy’s new outlook on life and further destroy the boy his mother built. Defiance has pushed Percy away from comfort and conventions.

But has he been pushed too far?
