This book is the first in a series of stories about a 13 year old Irish boy who found a cave underneath a barn. He took his girlfriend and best friend into the cave. When they reached the end of the cave, they found a world they never knew existed. There were creatures of all different shapes and sizes. The creatures all wanted the same thing: Peace in the world which in which they lived. The wars between the creatures had caused sorrow and pain, and the rescues they made were grand, and brought the creatures together to fight side by side with one goal: Peace in the world they live in. I wrote these books from the memories and adventures I have had with my friends, and I hope that you find a memory of your own to share with your friends.
