The Magic Banana

By CJ Heck

A Children's fantasy adventure set in The Land of The Purple Moons. This land is lovely and very different from our world. The Land of The Purple Moons is somewhere over our stars and under our moon, far far away.

The story begins with three best friends, who go on a simple picnic together in The Forest of Enchantment. Through anger, and the magic in the forest, one of them suddenly disappears.

To get their friend back, the two remaining friends must travel through the frightening Everlie Woods, where nothing is ever as it appears -- and no one who enters has ever returned. But they MUST get through Everlie Woods! The Great Wallah of Poobah is the only one who can tell them how to reverse the magic to get their friend back, and he lives in his castle on the other side ...

The Magic Banana

Tucked in somewhere over our stars and under our moon, there's a faraway land. It's lovely and very different from our world. It's called The Land of The Purple Moons because up in the sky at night, it has two large purple moons. There are also two bright suns that shine in the daytime that are always hooked together by a beautiful rainbow.

In The Land of The Purple Moons, there's a thick magic forest called The Forest of Enchantment.  It's called that because sometimes things happen there that just can't be explained.

This is a story about three best friends who lived near The Forest of Enchantment in The Land of The Purple Moons and an adventure that none of them will ever forget.

I know this is true, because someone who's been there told me to tell you.

The first of the friends was Bartholomew Bear. His friends couldn't say that name, so they called him B Bear. This was just fine
