TAKE AN ADVENTURE THROUGH TIME! Stephanie Drake and her three children were glad to be alive after a sudden storm slammed their boat onto an uncharted island, but it's not where they think. They found themselves in another world, frozen in time. For more than 3,000 years, the magical island of Avalon remained hidden from the outside world. It was a place of eternal magic, where the descendants of King Arthur ruled over a land filled with magical creatures, wizards, Elves, Dwarves and dragons. On Avalon, Stephanie and her children were being hunted by bounty hunters, thieves and brigands. They found themselves caught in a power struggle between Lord Kraven Darkholm, a powerful wizard descended from the sorceress Morgana le Fay, and Lord Bryan MoonDrake, the Gil-Gamesh of Avalon. The people of this magical isle have been protected for centuries by the Gil-Gamesh, a descendant of Sir Percival Peredyr, the last Knight of the Round Table. But who is Lord MoonDrake and how does he know so much about Stephanie and her children? Now, it's a race against time as the Gil-Gamesh must protect these Outlanders—as they are called—and get them home to the outside world. All the while, Kraven Darkholm continued his schemes against the people of Avalon, vying to achieve his ultimate goal of becoming ruler of this enchanted island.

JOIN THE WEST END BOYS FOR SUMMER VACATION: Thrift and economy I have always wanted to own a brand-new store-bought factory-made pre-assembled gasoline-powered go-cart ... But I know that it is never going to happen in my lifetime. The reason I know I'll never own one is because whenever I ask my dad for so much as a quarter he nearly suffers a fatal heart attack. Practical applications from academia: Sam and I have to give all of the credit for our success to our elementary school teacher, Mrs. Glass.... If she hadn't taken the time to teach us about Sir Isaac Hayes and his Law of Gravity, which basically states ... "What goes up the alley must come down the alley" ... Life lessons: Sam said, "I know how we can prove that bad luck exists. We can use Bob to conduct a test ... One day, when Bob is alone inside his house ... watching the Pirates play baseball on TV, we can peek through his window and watch him." "How will that prove bad luck?" I asked. "Well," Sam answered, "won't it be proof when we see him get hit in the head by a foul ball?" Sam was joking of course, but if it were possible for someone to get hit in the grape by a foul ball while watching a baseball game on TV, then Bob would be your man. Fitness and physical hygiene Poopman is definitely a game of survival of the fittest. It's a cutthroat game with lots of strategy, intrigue, backstabbing, and running for your life.
