Local police report that eleven-year-old Joshua Morton is missing. The boy was last seen asleep in his bed in the Morton home. It is believed he ran away from home after learning that his family was moving to San Francisco, CA.

Joshua’s neighbor and playmate, ten-year-old Lilli Carswell, said she last saw Joshua near a pile of red boulders in a field behind the Morton’s backyard. She claimed that Joshua captured a miniature eagle that lived in the boulders. A police search of the area showed no sign of the boulders.

The police believe Joshua’s disappearance may be linked to the theft of documents from the Albert Einstein Archives of the Natural History Museum that occurred on July 4. A review of museum security video appears to show three giraffes, the tallest less than twelve-inches in height, leaving the museum at closing time.

Based on Ms. Carswell’s statement, authorities are looking into the existence of a magical animal community called “Sue Town.” It is believed that Joshua’s captured eagle, and the giraffes alleged to have stolen documents from the museum, may live in Sue Town.

Speaking off the record, a person close to the investigation of the theft at the museum claims that Sue Town is a technologically enhanced, exotic, Subterran Urban Environment that is hidden in a camouflaged location somewhere in the desert near Las Vegas. Criminal ties to Ireland’s nefarious “Wee People” are being investigated.

Authorities discount Joshua’s and the boulder’s disappearance with the unsubstantiated rumor that Sue Town was in imminent danger of destruction by bulldozers.

There are reports of miniature eagles and bees roaming the metro area. These reports are unconfirmed. However, it is known that the inhabitants of Sue Town, whatever their size, are cunning, whimsical, and fantastic creatures.

This is a great adventure! My son and I read this book together and we enjoyed every minute of this exciting tale. The characters were great and engaging. The story was fun and my son did not want to put it down. He is hoping for more adventures.
