Book 1: Nick Smith has always felt different from other kids... blue sight... a chipmunk friend name Pecan... a knack for solving puzzles... and a mysterious past. What he discovers about himself, and mythological heroes will change how he views the world... forever. Nick, eleven, is faced with an unexpected event. Emma, his newest friend, is off to attend an out-of-town boarding school. As the summer wanes he's spending the last days alone. Emma's already gone... on vacation with her family before she heads off to school. Not long after Emma's departure Nick's mother receives a special delivery letter from Professor Jones of The Institute. He'd met the professor during a recent trip to Gran Canaria. He wonders what the letter contains. All is revealed during dinner that evening. To Nick's surprise, it contains an invitation for him... he's been invited to attend The Institute's private school. During the discussion his mum reveals that she also attended The School with her twin brother and his aunt who'd died when he was just a baby. His mum tells him that she really enjoyed going there. It was lots of fun, made lifelong friends, but the schoolwork was difficult. His mum and dad leave the decision for him to make. His mum shares few details of The School leaving it shrouded in mystery. His mum explains he'll understand should he decide to attend. Nick is faced with a tough choice: attending a nearby school or an incredible adventure in a place he knows little about. He consults with his trusted advisor Pecan to no avail. Pecan believes it's Nick's decision to make. After a night's sleep he decides to have the same experience his mum, uncle and aunt had growing up. Even though he'll miss his mum and dad, he thinks the experience will be worth it. Many adventures and surprises await. He'll make new friends... and lifelong enemies. His incredible adventure is about to begin! With a positive outlook and a yearning to make his parents proud, the story of the little boy rescued from the ashes will delight generations of readers.
