Forest of Amusement

I wrote Forest of Amusement in 1996. The main character is Miko, the younger brother of Atina, the sister who chooses the forest of knowledge I recently published Forest of Amusement, and it is now available as an e-book.

In the first chapter the reader meets Miko, who can't wait to visit the forest of amusement. He is accompanied through the forest by his friend Lantos and by Lantos's cousin, Kiki. The reader is also introduced to Kimrona, the children's guide through the large forest.

The second chapter gives the children the opportunity to experience the sensations of flight. A machine shaped like a bird descends and they step in. By using the lever and the pedals, they explore the amazing forest.

After their adventure of flight, the children play a game called Wall of Snow. At first, Miko is very confident, but he soon discovers that the game is not so easy. Teamwork is required to clear the wall.

In the fourth chapter, the children embark on a beautiful golden ship decorated with magnificent gems and silky sails. The ship ascends past the trees and then moves with tremendous speed. It takes the children on an unforgettable adventure.

The fifth chapter takes the children to a magical pond with light green and crystal clear water. A transparent object shaped like a bubble takes the children to the bottom. One of the creatures the children encounter inside the pond is a warrior fish.

In the sixth chapter, the children visit Crystal Cave. It is full of crystal plants, which make the cave surprisingly bright. Kimrona gives them white shiny swords to help them make their way through the cave.

The seventh chapter takes the children to a jungle. Here they see air flowers for the first time, and they interact with jolly jumpers, friendly animals they have never seen before. Later they enjoy a spectacular concert.

In the eight chapter, Lantos requests a game which lets him put his strength to the test. The children battle soldiers, knights, warriors, wizards, a queen and a king. Though Lantos performs very well, it is Miko who most impresses Kiki.

The forest of amusement inspires Miko for the rest of his life. Of the many stories that are told about the magical forest, his is the most famous. The adventure in the forest helps him to discover all of his potential. Though Forest of Amuement is written for children, it can also be enjoyed by adults.
