It's 1961. 11-year-old Alex, going on 12, a bit shy, and a little bit anxious, has just moved with his family to the tiny village of Stella on bucolic Amherst Island. Father, Professor Jorgenson, and mother, Victoria, seek a pastoral and gentler life, but Alex was just fine with growing up in Kingston. Now he has to start all over with new friends, new school, new everything. Luckily for him he is self-reliant, resilient, and curious. He doesn't know what leadership is but somehow he attracts followers. And this leads to adventures and discoveries. Anyone who was twelve in the 1960s, or even in the 1980s, or 2000s, will recognize themselves in this book, because the questions and encounters Alex faces are the same for every generation. Who hasn't built a fort to get away from the adults in their worlds? Who hasn't struggled with the uncertainties of that first love? Who hasn't wondered about some mystery from the past?
