Gewgaws are worthless trinkets . . . or are they? Perry Dobbs is a 13-year-old boy who only wants to play video games, never go outside, and avoid his mother, “The Dragon”, downstairs. He has a crush, but he can’t speak when she’s around. He’s been this shy and stubborn - the dragon would say a brat - since his father died and his best friend, Arvin, moved a continent away. Arvin Pewter is a little person with wild, red hair. He’s smart, witty, loves science and girls in nearly equal proportions, but he hates being called “Chipmunk” for his size. It’s been a long two years living with his grandmother in Ireland. He couldn’t wait to go home to see his old friend Perry. Perry and Arvin used to be best friends, collecting gewgaws, and enjoying their summers at the Shelby Lane pool. But after years apart, they’re not the same innocent boys they once were. Perhaps, they never were. Now, Arvin’s back for good! And he wants to rekindle their friendship. The Dragon thinks it’s a good idea, too, and insists Perry leave to meet his friend at the pool. When a mysterious object pulls the friends into a magical portal, they’re unwittingly thrust into a whirlwind adventure across time and space. As the friends jump from one treacherous world to another, they must work together to find their way home. It’s a journey that will show them the best and worst of each other and test the limits of their friendship. But while looking ahead, will they see what's following behind? "The book was great, fast-paced from start to finish. I loved it!" ~Mary L. Schmidt for Readers' Favorite "Gewgaws was hard to put down. The ending was a twist I hadn't expected." ~Amazon Reviewer "It was refreshing to read something different, something with an innocence to the quest." ~Amazon Reviewer Read The Gewgaws Adventure today!
