"With the exuberance of a caper, determined protagonists, and a message steeped in family legacy, this is a splendid homage to adventure." - FOREWORD MAGAZINE - 5 out of 5
Unravel 'solve-them-yourself picture mysteries' and uncover the Legend of the Star Runner!
Following the clues concealed within a centuries-old family legacy, Timmi Tobbson and his friends hope to save a dear friend. But only twenty-four hours remain to unravel the legend of a long-lost pirate ship, buried somewhere deep beneath the city streets. Unbeknownst to them, their search awakens a mystical dark power, sworn to protect what is hidden on board the once famous Star Runner.
Mysteries to Solve
The adventure is divided into 31 concise chapters, each of which ends with a puzzle to be solved by finding and interpreting visual clues concealed within a beautiful color illustration. Suited for explorers and sleuths young and old. Children under 8 years may need assistance in solving some of the puzzles. Grade level: 3rd and up.
Beautiful Color Illustrations
Legend of the Star Runner gives readers the best of both worlds, merging the visual appeal of a graphic novel with text-based storytelling's power to spark imagination.
Fun Facts
The illustrations of most Timmi Tobbson characters were inspired by actors and/or their fictional characters from well-known movies.

A lot of love and attention to detail went into creating Legend. Did you
spot an email address in one of the illustrations? Try sending a message
and see what happens... but there is more to it than pure entertainment.
A Story for the Heart - A Challenge to the Mind
This is a story about friendship first and foremost. A story for the heart.
And about the drive to explore, to inquire and to second-guess. All three
main characters require perserverance and courage to succeed, and
derive the necessary strength from their friendship.
Gets Kids' Eyes Off Screens
This book is designed to also engage today's young video gamers and
water their taste for books. One of the main reasons for the appeal of
video games is a frequent feeling of accomplishment. This book is
designed to achieve the same. The 31 concise chapters, each ending with
a puzzle to be solved, provide an equally rewarding experience. The
high-quality visuals are another reason video gaming kids will feel right
at home.
Will Girls Like the Book too?
My wife and I are proud parents of our super-cute (no bias here)
daugther Emmelie. It was important to me to create a character with
Lilli, who is ready to take the lead and make things happen. Who doesn't
care about what society expects but about fulfilling her own dreams and
ambitions.
So yes, I created this story with girls in mind. Hopefully, my daughter
(and you too) will love it the way I do.
Have fun!
