THIS BOOK IS AN INTRODUCTION TO A SERIES OF SHORT FICTIONAL ADVENTURE STORIES, WHICH I HAVE TOLD TO MY GRANDCHILDREN AT BEDTIME AND SOME EXTRAS TO THE "SIMPLY A STORY" PART OF BOOK ONE. IN TEIR OPINION THEY ARE SUITABLE FOR KIDS OF 6YRS+, AND ALSO MAKE AMUSING READING FOR KIDS OF 50YRS+.THIS ADVENTURE SERIES WAS CONJOURED UP DURING MY IMAGINATIVE TIME WITH TWO FRIENDS, WHO I MET IN VERY STRANGE CIRCUMSTANCES; AND OUR ESCAPADES TOGETHER IN A LONG FORGOTTEN AFRICA OF MANY YEARS AGO, AS BEFITS A CHILDS MIND

This is the second book involving Freddy Vanzetti and this time the matter is extremely serious,. While most rhyming stories for children deal with cute bunnies and mild adventures this time Freddy is facing something serious, the death of his best friend and playmate. One day he is home, it is an ordinary day, and suddenly Freddy learns that his friend Jackie Mullins, died in a car accident. Obviously, this is not a book for every child, but it might be the perfect book for many children. The author suggests that for very young children, if the parent feels this story might help a child who has lost someone in their life, that the parent or caregiver read the book to the child and stop to answer questions or to allow the child time to cope with the story and the loss in their own lives. When the author was 6 years old his best friend and playmate was killed in a car accident. The author felt that those experiences might help other children who may unfortunately share similar experiences. The author realizes his vocabulary might be challenging for some children, but he feels it is good to challenge children to learn the meaning of “hard” words, and to advance their use of language. “When I was a child,” said the author, “I remember reading Just So stories by Rudyard Kipling. In one of the stories, the author described a character over and over again as being a man of “infinite wisdom and sagacity." I went and looked up the two words I didn’t know, infinite and sagacity, and I have known and used those two words my entire life. So, using big words in children’s books seems like a good thing if not over done.”

"2210 was to be a year to remember as the Affiliated Space Association (ASA) was experimenting with a new propulsion system. Using antimatter to create gravity waves they were to conduct their first experiment. At 12:35pm EST on December 12, things suddenly went horribly wrong. When a runaway reaction caused a massive implosion so great that material from 300km away was pulled into the reaction. This in turn produced an immense gravity wave strong enough to nudge Earth into a higher orbit around the sun, thus plunging it into another ice age. And now, because of the mistakes made all those years ago, one could call Humankind an endangered species… The Year is 2274 and spirited delivery girl Keejana Brooks and her partner Liam Harvey have had it tough. They run a slowly failing supply, delivery trade to a planet that is quite literally breaking apart… Earth. Time is running short and all hope seems to be fading quickly. But just when the Human Race finds itself on its last leg, events suddenly take an unexpected turn when a strange Alien race presents them an offer they simply cannot refuse...And so the journey begins….
