Can you tell me more about the story?

“Ricky and the Phoenix: The Secret of Liberty Reef” is the first part in a three-part series called The Chronicles of Liberty Reef.  The story follows Ricky, a young boy who stumbles upon a magical realm called Liberty Reef, hidden behind a curious door in his school playground. The story begins when Ricky is about 5 years old and follows him through adolescence and in later parts into adulthood with his own family.

Guided at key junctures in his life by a mythical phoenix named Raukey, who occasionally transforms into a wise, grandfatherly figure, Ricky navigates real-life challenges and embarks on fantastical quests.

Ricky has to make decisions about peer pressure, family difficulties, and other coming of age experiences. Through many visits to the mythical Liberty Reef, Ricky experiences a fantastic tale involving wonderful creatures such as transforming lions and talking fish in a curious aquarium that enables the “watchers of the reef” to see events unfolding in our “real” world. The narrative is rich with family-friendly content that naturally imparts strong moral values and key life principles.

One of the unique features of the story is that each letter accompanying our mailing is personalized to the reader’s age and details provided at the time of subscription.

The wonderful thing about this approach is that the same story is told to a six-year-old or a sixteen-year-old.  Thus, whether the story is a read-aloud experience for a small child, or a private experience for an adolescent, timeless lessons and life principles shine through.

In addition each mailing comes with a quest that enables the reader to participate as the story develops and reveals more of this enchanting world. The story is both a moral adventure and a subtle invitation to youth and their parents to learn more about a real place called Liberty Reef, where these ideas are also taught.
