Captain Kid Is Looking for a Few Brave Recruits

Book 1 of the Castatine Chronicles. In the summer of 1990, thirteen-year-old Charles Miller lives in a lake-side townhouse in Florida. He has good friends, reasonable parents, and no school for another two months. Life is good, but when a strange boy glides across the lake on a homemade raft, Charles’s dreams of leisure are shaken awake by the promise of adventure.

The stranger, introducing himself as “Captain Kid,” claims to be from another dimension. With a winsome personality and infectious enthusiasm, he explains he has come to Charles’s world on an important quest to find a missing princess known as the Patch Fairy. This can hardly be believed, but when Charles witnesses too many unexplainable events, he tingles with the understanding that something truly extraordinary is about to happen.

Captain Kid proposes a rescue mission which involves leaving not only the neighborhood Charles grew up in but his entire plane of reality. Also, the captain speaks of monsters. Charles is interested but he’s not crazy! The mission is too dangerous. However, when his friends eagerly join the quest, Charles is left with an all-important choice: be responsible and stay home or follow Captain Kid up the Reality Deck and into the Attic of the World.

Great book.

Very entertaining YA/Fantasy novel. Well written with great story beats. I'm looking forward to the next installment.

Great YA read.

I was pulled into this story from the beginning by the premise and the strength of the writing, but I kept reading for the best reason possible—I had to find out how it was all going to end!

“Into the Attic of the World” is a YA fantasy novel. Four friends (young teens—3 boys and 1 girl) are recruited by a mysterious young man for a rescue mission. What follows is an adventure in another reality that is reminiscent of “Stranger Things” with a hint of “Lord of the Rings” thrown in for good measure. The plot is face-paced, imaginative, and makes liberal use of “mystery boxes.” The world building/mythology is logical and thorough and the description is concise and imaginative at the same time. I could picture everything very clearly. I always knew who was doing what and where and why they were doing it.

The book ends with a perfect set up for the next installment. Can’t wait for the next one!
