Young John Adam, stuck on a farm with teasing cousins during World War II, longs for escape. His wish is granted, thrusting him into an extraordinary adventure. Encountering Spirit Flyers and the ominous forces of the Deeper World, John Adam faces challenges that will change everything he knows. What secrets lie in this mysterious realm, and how will they shape his destiny? Discover the thrilling tale of courage and discovery, set in a time before Goliath Industries cast its shadow over Centerville.

From the publisher

When Grandfather Kramar was a boy, he couldn’t stand his cousins. They teased him and called him names. But with his mom and dad both overseas because of World War II, John Adam was sent to live with his aunt, uncle and cousins on a farm near Centerville. He hated his life there. He wished his parents would come back. He wished he were home again- or anyplace else. Then John Adam got his wish. He went on a journey like none other he had ever had in his entire life. Here is the amazing story of the first encounters between Spirit Flyers and the dark powers of the Deeper World, years before Goliath Industries ever arrived in Centerville.
