Children Fiction

This book is about the nature of divinity and the corresponding relationship between human beings and lesser creatures. It is a small, neat fable about two boys: one, Daniel, the narrator, a reasonably normal kid, the other, his friend Jason, a high-flying eccentric who refuses to accept the world on its own terms and is constantly challenging it and trying to refashion it. Their friendship is put to the test when Jason commits an act of hubris which spells dire consequences for them both.
