The day after a fire at Windsor Castle, the Queen of England visits the smoldering castle
where she discovers a book, hidden for centuries behind a long forgotten wall. When she
reads it, she learns that the future of her throne depends on her acquiring a mysterious
cat. Fortunately, she finds him in a French château full of little boys who have escaped
from the ominous Blue World. But before Scooter - the leader of the boys - can decide if
her claim is legitimate, the ferocious Blue Fyre from the dragon killed by St. George
suddenly appears, igniting a firestorm that imperils the future of the throne.
The 249-page fantasy adventure chronicles the coming-of-age experiences of the ten-
year-old boys Scooter, Peter, Nicholas, and the rest of the boys in the castle. When they
meet the Queen, forces beyond their control shatter the foundation of their idyllic world.
With a life based on eating cookies, their world crumbles as they encounter deceit and
treachery, all the while maintaining their boyhood innocence and core belief that the nicest
thing they can do for a fellow human being is to give them a freshly-baked chocolate chip
cookie.
HRK and the Book Behind the Wall has received an overwhelming positive response
from the public school system.
As an MBA, Ben has used his astute marketing skills to study the book market and hone
in on his core audience, young readers ages ten and older.
