| Publisher Description: Stranded in Space Book 4 in The Enchanted Coin Series is a 31,000 word fantasy adventure targeted at Middle Grade readers. Imagine being a fourteen year old again and finding a coin that seems to give off a light of its own. The coin has your name on it, claims to be magical, and instructs you to toss it into a fountain next to the Tree of Life. That's what happens in Stranded in Space, and what starts my protagonist off on a magical adventure that many young boys and girls would love to have. This book is "G" rated. Characters Drake Thompson is a 14-year-old boy, who finds an enchanted coin and is transported onto a damaged spaceship belonging to a race of people known as the Krozans. Baya is a 14-year-old girl from the planet Shantell who is also sent by a magical coin to the same spaceship at the same time as Drake. She looks like an Earth girl but her skin and hair are blue. Zane is a Krozan teenager whom Drake and Baya have to bring out of hibernation to help them save the spaceship and the Krozan crew and passengers. |
