It all started with a dream. Max Kanar, the main author of this book, is a nine-year-old homeschooler. One morning he woke up with this scene buzzing in his brain: a young boy falls in an apple barrel, is helped up by a girl who becomes his friend, and the two of them head off to have adventures together. From this beginning, Max created the story of a normal boy named Roger Ambleton who must destroy an evil rock before it turns everyone in the world to stone. With the help of his brother and dad, Max made the story into a book. We hope you like it.
