Hi, my name is Jamie and yes, I know, I should not have dug up Granny Sue! I hear that you want me to give you a brief description of ‘Tinymite’. Well here goes; awesome, just awesome; that’s how I would describe my little pal. He may not be the most obvious choice of a buddy but when you meet him you will be balled over by his strength and his courage. When he first told me his story I was a bit sceptical; I mean seriously not a hint of rain and the story is set in Ireland! Anyway, hearing his story put him right up there on my ‘ultra cool’ list. For some creatures being small is not an issue. Indeed some welcome their miniscule size and rejoice in their tiny footprints. Their roar is not so much a loud bellow as a barely audible squeak. Many accept this minimised microscopic world and live their life cycles without the tinniest regret. NOT TINYMITE! HE DID NOT GET THE CONCEPT OF PHYSICAL LIMITATIONS. He had extraordinary foresight. He dreamt of one day leaving his mark on the world and proving once and for all, that any dream can become a reality with true belief and determination.‘Tinymite’ just never stopped believing. He recognised the true value of friendship and commitment. He learnt that loyalty was such a valuable attribute. Tinymite’s first adventure proves once and for all that little things can make a big difference. Just like me, Tinymite could not conform. He was different and not every one could understand his true vision. But I sure did. I don’t want to give too much away but let’s just say he proves to be such a legend.

When a young animal is born, it is tempting for us human beings to think that the creature knows very little (dumb animal, we often hear people say).We assume all must be learned by them through the experience of living.What is really true is that young creatures, and also for that matter young human beings, already know so much more of what is really necessary to know.Yes, wisdom does come with age and experience but at a cost, a loss of vision.The young walk with angels amongst them that only they can see!

It's a chance to prove himself before starting his Sky Knight training.But first he will need to survive the wild creatures of Borcal Pass which are far deadlier than he ever imagined.Join Ed as he once again flies into danger intent on becoming a Sky Knight.
