Having been abandoned on the steps of an orphanage when he was only a baby, Dan is used to living a life of loneliness. All that soon changes, though, when he receives a visit on his twelfth birthday from the mysterious Nevar Loeren – who proceeds to inform Dan that he possesses a host of rare gifts that set him apart from all the other “normal” people with whom he’s struggled to fit in for so long. Accepting Loeren’s invitation to attend the special Steven Noricin School for the New Race, Dan eventually learns the truth about his super human lineage, as well as how to master his abilities – but will it be enough to protect him from the ominous new threat determined to prevent his all-important training from coming to fruition...?

Rife with fantastical action and adventure, The Lost Boy is a magical read. In the debut installment of the ambitious 12-volume Noricin Chronicles, author Mark Sheldon blends the magic of Harry Potter with the subtle moral undertones of Lord Of The Rings to forge an imaginative tale of courage, bravery, and self-discovery. Through Dan, Sheldon has created a highly relatable central character whose struggle along the road to ultimate enlightenment is one with which readers young and old alike are sure to identify. Highlighting the importance of learning to accept and appreciate your own unique individuality, The Lost Boy conveys many important lessons about the value of discovering your life’s true purpose. A thoroughly entertaining, eye-opening read.
