Danger Boy

I was pleased to see a message from Mark Williams, author of two Danger Boy books. Though I'm not a fan of fantasy or action/adventure, Danger Boy hooked me. I crave compelling characters and Danger Boy is such a one. His longing to reunite his family -- his mother is stuck in another era -- is so palpable, that it remains prominent even in the midst of dastardly global intrigue, humorous adventures with the likes of King Arthur and Merlin, and outer-space encounters with highly evolved dinosaurs. Meanwhile, until Mom and Dad do reunite (as I hope they will!), Danger Boy creates a new "family" with one of the erstwhile dinos and a girl from ancient Alexandria. Something for everything here.
