NEW YORK - April 4, 2025 - PRLog -- New Middle Grade Adventure Book Sets Sail Across Seven Fantastical Worlds

Get ready to hoist the sails and dive into an epic tale of courage, mystery, and magical treasure in Ray Taylor and the Torn and Tattered Treasure Map, the thrilling new middle grade fantasy by author N. Degen. Independently published and available now on Amazon, this dazzling debut invites young readers into a wild, imaginative odyssey where anything is possible.

Ray Taylor is just an average schoolboy in a small town—with an above-average love for sketching, a loyal retriever named Buddy, and an aching wish to see his father again. But Ray's world flips upside down when a chance encounter with a strange old neighbor plunges him into a time-traveling, treasure-hunting quest aboard a 17th-century pirate schooner.

As the seventh and missing member of a long-lost pirate crew, Ray must journey across seven far-flung and fantastically different worlds in search of seven magical glowing stones—each one unlocking a piece of a legendary treasure map said to contain the riches of a hundred kings. With the ghostly Bloodthirsty Cook as their cryptic guide and danger lurking at every turn, Ray and the crew of the Celestine must face riddles, devilish trials, and secrets written in an entirely blank book.

Bursting with humor, twists, heart, and imagination, Ray Taylor and the Torn and Tattered Treasure Map is a high-stakes, high-seas adventure for young readers who believe that even the smallest heroes can unlock the greatest destinies.
