I have to agree with @droughtquake. In the US the police and school district would be open for untold lawsuits and scandle for the way they interviewed/harassed Robbie. There are very rigid lines when it comes to minors and their rights. I am assuming that @Dodger just overlooked this detail while writing this excellent chapter....or is it an open door for Don to walk through and into an arena of rabid dogs? Now that would be funny

Robbie is his own worst enemy. but there might just be a glimmer of light in the distance. He did have enough sense to try to keep the bible thumpers from coming in uninvited and he had s bit of an internal look at himself with Nathan at the end of the chapter. Hopefully, Robbie will begin to calm his temper and stand firm for himself. We will see...

I get it and I think there could be some intrigue in the comingling of story lines. This is a great story and I am itching to start reading the next chapter...

Things are looking up. Now what will the plan be and how will it work out? I see many possibilities and not all are good. Keep up the great story telling!!

A new alien to start a new Charlie Boone story. It will be great to meet the boys again and catch up on the universe!!

I agree with @droughtquake completely! Geron is one of my favorite authors because he can tell a story that makes you feel like you are right there with the characters. His attention to detail, without just using words to fill space adds to the feel of the adventure. Whether it is a series or a stand alone story, you will never be disappointed with Geron's stories!!

Short but very sweet. This chapter really set up an interesting trail for the next few chapters to follow. Finding Cheryl is only the beginning. What to do with her will be one big fight.

This was one of the best Charlie Boone stories yet. It followed characters from past stories while introducing some new ones as well. The big surprise is hidden well until the end. The ending shows the pain of the heart while also showing that the right things sometimes hurt very bad. If this is the first Charlie Boone story you have encountered I recommend that you go back and read them from the beginning as the character development really needs to be felt and understood. Geron has a way with words like a great painter has a way with brush strokes and colors. You just can not go wrong with a Kees story and I encourage you to read them all!!!

I agree with the graphic above. It is about time to circle the wagons and have a Cheryl over for dinner... She would be best with a good sauce and roasted peppers!! Great story. Keep it coming, Please!!

I really like this idea. It probably is impractical, but any way to be able to go back to where you left off in a story, like a bookmark, would be great. I find myself with multiple tabs left open as I change interests, but do not want to abandon a story. This leaves a clutter of tabs and if something forces a restart of the computer the tabs are lost...(Yea, windows never fails.....) Even if nothing changes this is still a wonderful site and offers endless things to discuss, read and enjoy. Keep doing the great job!!!

I like the bragging idea above with a twist. I think Tristan should go back home with his mate when things calm down. When there he should, with a very casual tone, do something that ONLY a very powerful mage could do and simply brush it off an a nothing event. That should cause a tremendous gasp from the family. At that time they could ask the embarrassing questions with the undertone of "answer with truth or I will simply squeeze it out of you...." or whatever a mage could in that flavor Keep up the great writing. It is a very interesting story!!

WooHoo, I hope Tristan's family learns quickly that they should have treated him better.... I think the crow will go down easier if eaten head first. It helps keeping the feathers from getting stuck in the throat!!! Now we need some mage magic to show the way......

Happy Birthday Dave and many many more

I have a feeling that Nev is going to see colors he has either not seen in a very long time or has never seen at all...... I can't wait for the rainbow Keep up the great writing!!

You have again knocked the pumpkin out of the yard with this story. The way you tell the tale is amazing. I find myself feeling like I am an observer within the story and really want to be helping! Keep up the great writing and since I am late to the party I will read the next cosmos adventure right away .

Another great chapter in an exceptional story. I am again late to the party, but just wanted to pass along praise for Geron. You continue to give us imaginative stories that allow us to live in an imaginary world for a short time. These stories remind me of some vinyl records from 50 years ago. They were titled 'Lets Pretend ...' stories for kids. The records were common stories we all have herd (If you are over 40 ) narrated like an audiobook. This allowed kids to relax and pretend they were part of the story. I do this with most of my reading and find your works to allow that to happen easily. I agree with @droughtquake about Charlies lines about Max's statement about having 'standards'. Standards are wonderful things... If you do not like how something is done, just create a new 'Standard' and it will make you happy!!! Keep up the great writing and I will keep buying the records, Err CD's.

You have done it again. Excellent story so far and I am looking forward to the next chapter. I am late to this party by almost a year, but this story is a great read anytime. You have an amazing ability to create new characters and seamlessly have them join the established cast. Your style and creative prowess always makes me want to both read and sometimes save your stories for a time when a simple escape into fantasy is needed! This story continues a look into the skwish the boys encounter. It really lets the mind take a break from real world issues and simply enjoy reading a good book, so to speak. Keep up the Great writing, you do it very well!

Carl needs to watch out. Tristan just gained a family and 100+ points with Mama!!! Great chapter @Caz Pedroso. Keep them coming!

Great chapter. I loved the countdown/delay before Milly's schriek after the 'mate' comment. I know people that would be just like that as the news sunk in slowly . Keep up the good writing!!

Great chapter! It is good to see Robbie finally finding someone he can relate to and admit that most of his problems are in his head. Jo is going to be hell on wheels for people like Don and hid bible thumping cronies. The best thing about that is that it will be a great show well worth watching. I think Sue is finally beginning to see some light. If Jo can ease into the big family picture she may be able to help more than just Robbie. I am not even going to try and guess the future happenings, but I will be waiting for future chapters while pacing the GA website . Keep up the great writing @Dodger, you are very good at it!!

Great chapter! It will be so fun (hopefully) to see Tristan's father come begging for help from his "second rate" son.

This was a great story with scary, frightening, lovable, happy and sad parts. I really liked the story and look forward to the next installment! You both make for a very good pair of authors with your own impact and traits woven into the final product. Keep up the great works, each of you and both of you! Onward to the next page.......

I hope after the retest is done and confirmed Tristan's family gets a half dozen or more mage levels, oops I meant boots, shoved up their a$$es and then down their throats. As @Kitt said, What a shitty thing to do to a kid!! Would it not be fitting if Tristan actually saved his family when they could not save themselves!

Rob's the one I watching ....

This story is wonderful. Trish needs to play catch a bus on the freeway and Jaces mom similar but not quite as permanent... I see some trying times in the future, but hopefully, Brody can keep Jace grounded. At least the boys will have a safe haven with Brodys parents if everything goes sideways. I am sure even Lara could find a place there if needed. I see many possibilities and challenges headed our way. Keep up the great writing!!
