Just Plain Old Jeremy (2nd Edition) (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781945450099)

Sixteen-year-old Jeremy Kentworth has spent nearly his entire life on Infernus, a mysterious island far from the nations of Embrey and Branell. Life on Infernus is hostile and harsh. That's just the way Jeremy likes it. The island is home to two indigenous tribes of winged men, and a variety of predators which even the bravest avoid. Jeremy's world is turned upside down when a stranger appears with an important message. Jeremy has inherited a vast estate and a tremendous fortune. But claiming this weatlh means saying goodbye to Infernus, and returning to the place of his birth. Meanwhile, immigrants from the Farlands, seeking to create new colonies on Infernus, threaten the tense ceasefire between the two winged men tribes. JUST PLAIN OLD JEREMY is a splendid, coming-of-age story, in the tradition of TARZAN OF THE APES, THE ADVENTURES OF HUCKLEBERRY FINN, and THE LAST OF THE MOHICANS.
