Jack The Macaque

Everyone needs someone to have their back, especially when parasites are involved! An adoption story that celebrates the moment bravery overcomes fear so that compassion can win.

Jack The Macaque [muh-kak] is a lovable monkey who roams the jungles of Sri Lanka without a home to call his own. Jack has no family because when macaque troops discover he is not like the other monkeys, they force him to leave.

One day, a brave young female macaque named May decides to take a stand for Jack. Although her father is the troop leader, May decides it’s better to support what is right and cause a stir, than to keep quiet and keep the peace. As a result, Jack finds a home and May gains a brother.

Sterling Weaver's Negative Space

In an instant, Sterling Weaver and his classmates’ eager anticipation of summer camp explodes, along with their classroom windows, into hope for survival. As the four friends evacuate to the safe-zone shelter, they encounter the first glimpse of a force they never dreamed existed.

Doxa, a towering light-creature from the realm of Negative Space, reaches out to the crew in search of a champion to restore balance and harmony between the two realms. But the Skotia, a dark horde of menacing bat-monsters, will do everything in their power to keep that from happening.

Because of their disabilities, the team feels inadequate to complete the mission. But, a potent dose of perspective, helps reveal their challenges as the power that could ultimately save both realms from destruction.
