The Golden Coin

Mary Barr

What lies over the river?

It is forbidden by ancient village custom to cross the river. No one has ever ventured over the calm waters that surround the totally isolated and insulated small Unknown Islands… No one but Ricco, the local fisherman, would dare!

Ricco’s world is an idyllic one, where solid family values; loyalty, love, trust and kindness are the norm rather than the exception. But when tragedy strikes, he is completely unaware of the hatred, venom and deceit he encounters on his journey to the Golden City.

He wrestles with his limited knowledge and lacks understanding when communicating with the handsome new race of people it seems he must befriend in order to save his loved ones.

But does their kindness come at a price – Ricco may think not! But any kindness to a stranger requires payment. But is the cost too great?

Will he again loose what he cherishes most, and be left with only what he had before he discovered ‘the golden coin’?

The Golden Coin is Ms Barr’s first adventure into the world of whimsical fantasy for young adults. She enjoyed writing fantasy so much that she soon followed with Sethbar – the Changeling.

In 2007, children’s books joined her range of genres. When writing for children, Ms Barr’s main focus is encouraging moral values, life lessons, and a fun story for her young readers, while creating a solid understanding of family values.

Her first children books were soon published and gained her both ‘editor’s choice and star reader’ awards.

Author Mary Barr brings you a delightful collection of young adult and children’s bedtime stories, bursting with colourful characters and endearing adventures.
