The Tales of Upon
Coming SOON
Volume I of a New Children's Fantasy Book Series 9 years + (Adults allowed too!)
​
Things are not going well in the magical kingdom of Upon.
Something has happened to the king and all of the heroes sent to find a
cure have mysteriously disappeared or otherwise.
​
​ Resident witch, Agnes, has reached out into… well somewhere other than Upon, to find a hero who can save the king. One arrives in the shape of Oliver, a very average and distinctly unheroic ten-year-old boy. Unfortunately, a somewhat dead boy.​
As if this wasn’t inconvenient enough Oliver ends up in the hands of The Sol Sisters, who, with the help of Morticus Necrossa, bring him back from the dead, more or less. But, to their frustration, Oliver escapes with the help of something akin to a large talking chicken.
To make matters worse someone else has arrived with Oliver and is found by The Hood, Agnes’s bitter rival and architect of the king’s current condition.​
Things go downhill from there and Oliver finds himself the focus of everyone’s attention. The Sol Sisters want to eat him, Morticus wants to study him, The Hood wants to make him dead again and Agnes wants to send him on a quest to cure the king. And Oliver, well, at the moment, he just wants to stay on the back of a giant running chicken.
