Salamander Boy

By Craig Wells

Phinn as a fourteen year old lives by the beach in Southern California. His best friends are Frosty Jack, a surfer extraordinaire, Chuck, a retired tile layer, and Sue, a sculptor of unusual designs. They all sell their beach cottages and journey off. Jack to surf all over the world. Chuck to meet the home run legend, Henry Aaron. Sue to sculpt figures for La Maison Du Chocolat in Paris. Phinn feels lost and abandoned and must create a new life. He is left with one friend-an obnoxious white Husky with blue eyes he calls Blacky. The two witness a cargo plane crash at the beach. Roberto Clemente, a famous baseball player, climbs out. He warns Phinn of an earthquake to hit LA. It does. Phinn imagines Roberto rescues him away to become a superhero-Salamander Boy. Is it fantasy or is it real? Phinn cannot determine. He returns to the catastrophe of the earthquake. Who must Phinn save first? As Salamander Boy or a boy? In the chaos, someone is kidnapping girls, even his friends who live on his block. Can he help them before they are sold as sex slaves? Is any of it real?
