CHAPTER 1 This will not be a Hollywood style action packed journey (which in most are too exaggerated to be true

anyway), nor a sickly love story that ends with the boy and girl living happily ever after. This is the story of an ordinary boy living a not so ordinary life. His name is Lucas, and the story starts on Christmas morning. To understand this story, you have to understand the type of boy Lucas was. He was in every sense the perfect twelve year old son any parent would want. He was polite, gentle and obedient, unlike many other boys his age. On Christmas morning, he awoke to find a frog on his bedspread. Most boys would have either squashed the frog or captured it, but remember, Lucas was a gentle boy. Gently, he picked the frog up and lifted him up on the window sill, where he waited and observed if the frog would jump out.
