    About this ebook

    This short story has a little imagination, and a little daring, and if you sit down on the ground and look up at the world, you just might see things from the same point of view as the characters in here. So this is a story just for fun. A family secret, with a journey to save the whole town of Dunley, that only a few people know is in danger. This was written about growing up with bicycles, trees, and the views of the back of the stores, the things and people that we hardly notice, but have all seen. This short story was written for fun and is dedicated to my children and grandchildren, with hope that they too will defeat the dragon.

    Author

    Charles Kerr

    Growing up in Akron, Ohio the author never thought about writing. He worked and attended classes at the University of Akron. He wrote technical papers and work instructions with part numbers and the steps of a process, machine programs for automated equipment, things that make industry go. His family has been an important part of his life and when industry slowed, he found time to write something from imagination, without the order or logic of machine language.
