STOCKTON, Calif. (MMD Newswire) April 15, 2009 -- The Cave by Steve McGill is a story for young readers about finding courage in unlikely places.
Ian Pratt has seen the cave every day on his way home from school, but has never mustered the courage to venture inside. Ashamed of his fear, Ian loses himself in stories of bravery and adventure found in his World War I history books. His imagination is fueled by stacks of letters and photos left behind by his great-great-grandfather who served in the war. When strange things begin happening around Ian, he decides it's time to live up to his family's legacy of courage. He finally enters the cave and discovers a world that will change his life forever.
"The book seeks to provide young readers with a different perspective on war, one they rarely see in the news," McGill says. "I hope it reveals the true feelings of families and friends as they watch the most important people in their lives risking everything, every single day."
Featuring a young protagonist struggling to define the kind of man he will someday become, the book is designed for young readers who can relate to feelings of loneliness and a desire to fit in. Combining historical fact with contemporary fiction, McGill works to inform as well as entertain.
