"Budding Author" is the nickname a friend proffered for her eldest son on a favorite blog. Her choice of words describes Miss KT well, so I'm borrowing them. Our Budding Author is currently working to produce a fantasy fiction of epic proportions. It's something of a Harry Potter in the 'burbs except the boy's name is Scott. The hero is an orphan aged 11--- sound familiar Potter fans? Scott lives in a house that's been derelict for almost a decade, and no one knows who he is or that he lives there with his dog.
She opens her tale with a chapter full of suspense and mystery about just who our hero might be, and by chapter three we find him breaking and entering to steal food for himself and his dog only to be apprehended by the police and a grumpy grandmotherly type. In a spoiler, I heard that he will be able to stop time thanks to an ultra-mysterious (Mystery is a theme she likes.) rock. KT hasn't finished that chapter yet so I'm stuck waiting to see how Scott will get out of the fix he was in last night. It will be interesting to see where she takes the fellow and what sort of adventures are next for him...
