Description
Edit
A magical night and a squirrel who falls from the sky starts off this epic tale of good versus evil. When the king and queen lose their only son and an innocent Captain Crispin is found guilty, chaos erupts. A plotting couple within the highest ranks use evil and wine in an attempt to make the king lose his followers. Urchin and his friends must save the island from the corrupt couple, by will, prophecy, and destiny. Urchin soon goes in search of the exiled Captain Crispin for Urchin's own safety, but if one of the island leaves by water, they can never return by water. Urchin of the Riding Stars by M. I. McAllister reveals how an ancient evil is cleansed, how squirrels can fly, and how truly precious is freedom.
