About this ebook

Mythical, historical and scientific secrets are hidden in a small prairie town, and a group of boys may be the only ones able to protect the biggest secret of all.


A centuries-old organization within the tiny town of Grayson protects many secrets - from unknown scientific discoveries to the truth about the mythical island of Atlantis, along with information that ties it to historical events from around the world.

Thirteen-year-old Adam McTaggart and his wise-cracking friends have always assumed that Grayson is just another boring small town on the prairie, but the destruction of a nearby town and disappearance of all of its residents forces them to believe they might also be in danger.

After listening to theories from one of the many ‘unique’ townspeople, Adam and his friends set out on a quest to uncover Grayson’s mysterious past. During their investigation they find a strange network of underground tunnels along with objects that seem to come straight out of a science fiction magazine. They also discover the existence of the secret organization controlling everything that happens in Grayson, and soon the group understands that their boring small town is much more exciting than they had always believed it to be.

But someone is coming, looking for an ancient power protected by the secret organization, and they are destroying towns as they draw near.

Can Adam and his friends learn everything they need to know in time to protect their town, its people, and the biggest secret of all?

This turned out to be a very good book. It became captivating after learning what the town secrets were, and surprisingly the "secrets" did not start sounding ridiculous. The story was well written with a good ending. I rate it a solid 4.

I've made it to page 48 and lost the will to live. It's written in such an old fashioned way I was surprised when texting was mentioned. I genuinely don't think I can bring myself to read any further, it's so boring!

The book was amazing... Was a little boring in the middle but ended up with perfect suspense and story.
