This fantasy for 7-9 year olds tells of how a strange enounter in a magical caves leads Jason to a series of adventures. But will he be able to find the Source Crystal?
Jason Thomas felt bored. Spain's hot weather was all very well. And yes, it was great having this almost private pool to swim in as often as he liked, but Jason longed for some adventure. Even if there had been something more interesting to do, no doubt it would be too hot to do it.
"Can't we go to the beach, Dad?" asked Jason.
"It's much too hot."
Dad was engrossed in a good book, and was drinking a gin and tonic. Mum was "drying off" in the sun.
"Not much chance of adventure here," thought Jason.....
Jason was woken form his dreaming by the most terrific bang he had ever heard.
