Will
by Geoffrey M. MetcalfWill is a 9-year-old boy with cerebral palsy. He is a very bright and sensitive child but requires a walker to get around. We discover him playing game cube in his bedroom as the strange face of Elverness appears on the TV screen. Elverness tells Will he needs to go to Acquinistere to help defeat a great evil. Will is diffident and reluctant but agrees to try to help. Will is suddenly transported to a strange place with a yellow sky and blue sun. He discovers he can walk and run unassisted. He and Elverness are joined by two talking horses that transport them to a medieval type city. Yes, the story is derivative and very consistent with the genre. However, despite the ‘journey/quest’ elements, it is much more a ‘life lessons’ story.
