Crabtree: Lost Kids of Borealonon

by Jane L. Fitzpatrick, Shawna Fitzpatrick-Harris (illustrator)

Thirteen-year-old Sam, his twin sister Mel, and their parents have an opportunity to move to the “wild, wild west” and a mountain town in Washington State. Sam’s dad inherited a gold-rush era house from his uncle. While everyone else is excited about the move, Sam is devastated. He will miss his friends, his basketball team, and the skateboard park in West Virginia.

Thinking of the worst-case scenario, no Internet, no cell service, no computer games, and nowhere to go, Sam has a terrible attitude problem as they make their way across the country in an SUV. All he wants to do is escape to another universe… another dimension … another reality…

And from there, Sam and Mel slip into an adventurous, action-packed ride into unknown danger and utter amazement…

“Borealanon was like entering another dimension – where cave writings told stories of mysterious creatures and darkness confused our minds… until we saw a brilliant, glowing light above us cascading down, dancing through shimmering crystals like ribbons across the rock walls.” ~ Sam

Oranias was not bound
By the thoughts of man,
She wore her crown above.
Her wind was Strength,
Her rain was Truth…
Oranias, the Goddess of Love.

~ Jane L. Fitzpatrick
