Synopsis

James Evans had just turned thirteen years of age and was feeling it! He lived with his parents in a fairly small cottage on the edge of the woods Formerly when a small boy he had loved spending time with his father in the woods and had learned much from him, but now things had changed. His father was a Woodcutter, but since sustaining a serious injury, he had lost his job and this combined with James' emerging adulthood had brought about a change in their relationship. He had become tense and impatient and often flew into fits of excessive anger. James wasn't having it easy at school either. He was mocked and laughed at especially by a group of bullies. His name "James" made him, in the eyes of some pupils an easy target for fun and games. They nicknamed him "Bondy" - after the other famous James - and used to mock him and push him around. Surely someone less like James Bond would be hard to find? Often James wandered off into the woods to be on his own, to find pleasure in the quietness and to explore the mysteries that lay hidden there. And then of course there was THAT CAVE! The warning sign: DANGER, KEEP OUT! only fed his fascination. The lure of the cave seemed irresistible - but what hidden dangers lay inside? What dark terrors lurked within its secret depths? James was soon to find out. . . . . . . !
