Hunter has changed towns a dozen times, has lived in at least that many houses, and has made even fewer friends. His only companions usually just his annoying younger brother, a vast area to explore, and his imagination to help entertain him.
His family moves again and it seems just as bad as all the other times. Hunter soon discovers that this time is different. There is a massive paddock out the back, with a creek flowing through it and a mountain of grass to explore. There is an abundance of possibilities for fun to be had, and this time he is not alone.
Hunter's imagination is about to run wild. Will his new found friends join in on the fun? Or will they bow to the pressure of bullies and abandon the imaginary world that they have built? A world which grows with them as they create strong memories.
Even imaginary fun can be filled with dangers.
'Inland tsunamis, falling meteorites, and disorganised criminal activity are just some of the things that Dennis, a secondary teacher, has to deal with. He just wanted to make a difference but this is not what he had in mind. Dennis still has to run a classroom, all while trying to discover the wonders of the new city of Westopolis, which has thrived since its recent emergence, and engaging with a student who wants nothing more than to kill him. Surely developing mysterious powers could only help the situation, but a secretive life as a rogue country style super hero known as ‘The Wrangler’ somehow escalates the problem. Now Dennis has to come to grips with his new role, hoping that he can somehow salvage the remains of his life while still trying to save everyone else's'
Outcast and alone he has wandered in the dark. Sadness and despair have overcome him completely. His life turned upside down by the same phenomena which took place upon the lake on that fateful night. When he awakens he is hidden within an isolated and forgotten bushland. Amongst the beauties of nature that surround him are relics of a desperate and forgotten past.
His solitude is welcome, but his physical transformation not so much. A fantastic power has altered his very being. A power that grants unnatural strength and astounding durability. This same strength could be used to right so many wrongs, and protect a community that has been brought to its knees. He could be the savior that the people have needed so desperately.
So why does he hide away, when he can do so much good? How is it possible that a bulletproof person can still hurt so much? Why would he think that he can help others when he cannot even help himself?
