Every series has a starting point, the entryway into this world begins with Nick and the Golden Apple. As Nick morphs into a teenager, readers join him every step of the way. From his arrival at 12, Huntington Street in London as a baby to his first trip to El Museo Canaria in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria as an eleven-year-old where he learns about an ancient people and his family. This is just the beginning of his adventures.

It's amazing to think it all started with his parents shielding him from fire with a magical blanket.

This fantasy is filled with imaginative details, and magic rooted in reality. It's slanted toward action-oriented readers, who will find the transition from school in London to private school unexpectedly natural.  The characters experience relatable emotions, fears, and triumphs on a human scale, even when myth encounters reality.

The author was inspired to write the first book in this series for his teenage son. The 'Nick' series uses the same framework as other phenomenally successful book series such as Harry Potter. The author attempts to create an action-adventures series that children will find equally fascinating.
