After defeating a mysterious archenemy in Paris, France, Ewen moves to America with his family to continue his medical treatments and combat his cancer. In Bethesda, Maryland, he and his family move into a new home where he makes friends at a new elementary school, befriends his neighbors on McKinley Street, and works with doctors to fight his osteosarcoma. He's a little boy traveling on a long journey. He's just trying to get on with a normal life, all things considered. Or so he thinks. For not long after settling in America, he will be called on to embark on his greatest adventure, one that will pit him against an ultimate evil bent on destroying him and all he loves. He will have to enlist the help of his family and friends. He will have to summon all his courage, make a daring escape, and try to save his little corner of the world. And he will have to do all this with a limp, in the shadow of cancer, in between surgeries and bouts of chemotherapy. Evil doesn't stand a chance.
Ewen was living in Zambia when he broke his leg and was diagnosed with cancer or osteosarcoma. After going back and forth to a hospital in South Africa, he went to France to start chemotherapy. When this book was originally published, Ewen was ten years old. He lived in Bethesda, Maryland with his parents and three siblings. He loved planes and enjoyed playing with his flight simulator. In the future, he wanted to be an aerospace engineer. After a long battle with cancer, Ewen died on 22 November 2014 in Marseilles, France and he was buried on Belle-Île-en-Mer (an island in the Brittany region of France). Helene Elisabeth is Ewen's mom. In a previous life she was a lawyer. She enjoys reading, running, swimming, and biking with her friends. She likes to write when she has some spare time (Journal d'une Jeune Fille Irlandaise, Pétra 2008; Mwendabaï -with the students of the French School of Lusaka, Zambia- Pétra 2011 and Les Evadés de Curie - with Ewen- Pétra 2012).
