Fletcher McKenzie and the Passage to Whole

Fletcher McKenzie is no ordinary 14-year-old from western Maine. He is going to inherit his family's business in less than four years. But first he has to save not only the business itself but both his parents. Fletcher's adventures start when he notices a mysterious ancient portrait of Mollyockett, a Pequawket Indian who lived in the 1700s, hanging in his parent's bedroom. Her eyes seem to come alive and stare directly at Fletcher. And after finding an old riddle found on the back of the painting, Uncle Woodrow reveals a secret to Fletcher saying, 'What I tell you, you must never tell a soul.'When, with the help of many co-conspirators, Fletcher discovers a passage that has been a McKenzie family secret for generations, this fast-paced, page-turning adventure begins in earnest. The passage leads to a spectacular world called Whole, where Fletcher unlocks a secret power and battles an ancient enemy of the McKenzie family. Urgency is paramount when Fletcher learns that he, with the help of Mollyockett and others in Whole, can quickly end the pandemic that is sweeping the globe by discovering an effective vaccine. He must hurry, though, as his time is limited due to Whole's mysterious secrets. This book is truly a wonderful read. The historical tidbits are enchanting; the action is thrilling. Read it and discover why many call Fletcher, 'the American Harry Potter!''Fletcher McKenzie and the Passage to Whole' was written with the help of the students in the Author Studies Program at the Farwell Elementary School (Lewiston, Maine).
