The Boy Scout is a fantasy novel (book one of the trilogy Dragons
Son) about a thirteen year old boy, Jimmy, who just happens to be an
avid Boy Scout in the late nineteen-fifties. Much of Jimmy’s Boy Scout training
saves his life and the lives of his companions as they embark on a quest to free
Jimmy’s grandmother who has been kidnapped. Much to Jimmy’s astonishment his
grandmother, Atthea, a grandparent Jimmy had no idea he had, turns out to be of
a race he didn’t even know existed.
Jimmy and his friend Kirk stumble down a concealed shaft in
a dark and spooky cave during a Boy Scout camping expedition and tumble into a
down right nasty situation in an alien world, a world of dragons and elves and
any number of good and evil creatures. Jimmy
and Kirk are rescued from their first encounter with “nasties” by two winged warrior
elf girls, Annatheia and Roannee. Extreme tensions develop as the four
teenagers struggle with their relationships and learn slowly who and what they
really are and the latent powers they possess.
The story takes the teenagers through intense self-discovery,
wrenching fledgling romantic situations, and heart pounding life and death
adventures in a landscape of unknown pleasures and perils.
