When two young boys decide to skip school and seek adventure one day, they end up finding much more than they ever bargained for. More than the dragon and the mountain of riches they see at first, one of the boys finds the entire course of his life changed.
That boy, Larry, finds himself at the center of an adventure bigger than anything he'd ever dreamed of. And when Larry's continuing adventure begins to effect his schoolwork, and then his teachers and his entire school, Larry's not sure what he's gotten himself into. When the effects of that seemingly innocent day begin to spread throughout - and then to threaten - his entire nation, Larry is forced to take action or face the destruction of the entire human race as a result of a single day of hooky.
Join Larry as he grows from a little boy into the last chance for survival that humanity may have, and find out just how complicated a happy ending can become...

NOT "too philosophical"
(4 Sterne)
I am a philosopher. it is sad to see so many reviewers tout this book as "too philosophical" as it shows the lack of understanding of philosophy that is so rampant in modern culture (the very issue I believe the author was attempting to combat with this work...) I believe the issue with this story was not that it was too philosophical since philosophy is usually quite entertaining... this was just... too pretentious. Too preachy. While the dragons and thier story was lovely and had a great deal of potential, the authors desire to boil all of the world's problems down to base ignorance and then tie it up in a neat (and rather lazy) little bow at the end with "instant enlightenment" leaves the reader (or listener) with the same kind of icky feeling of having someone look at the deepest most complecated problems of your life and then give some extremely overly simplified and judgemental answer to them.

I made it to the end because there's a lot of good stuff here. However, starting with Episode Three, Ghadshyk became preachy and long-winded, and not only got away with it but was admired for it. That was hard to believe. Oddly enough though, the thing that annoyed me the ...

I really enjoyed this book, and although at times it felt like an after-school special, it persevered in its message and really made me think. The only problem I had is that the end didn't feel like the end. There was no "The End" or anything, it feels very incomplete. ...

At the two thirds mark I thought you were simply channelling the 'Jonathan Livingston Seagull' book. The Raid was a bit of a surprise given the frozen time bit. You had a real chance at some characters and you went way over the top with the philosophy of knowledge. Seems ...

I enjoyed the book, but I have a problem with the "all ages" rating. Over a hundred million people dying horribly is not a 'family friendly' concept. Nor is sneaking it into what starts as a story about a twelve year old boy. I enjoyed the philosophy. I think Gail, ...
