The Terrible Ruckus on Paradise Isle

Unfathomable riches, the promise of adventure and a crusty pirate named Captain Moses Plank lure Charles "Cherry" Pie and his friend Willy to a mysterious, uncharted island where they encounter more than expected. Exotic and unusual inhabitants seem to turn up at every turn offering, at times wisdom, at times danger, and at times refuge. So goes this tale, reportedly from the turn of the last century and handed down from generation to generation. It is a playful and intriguing story filled with surprises and emotion, with a hint of reality that is not to be taken too seriously.

William E. Hawkins has also authored The H.E.R.O. Project, The Creek and The Barren Spirit and another fantasy from the Cherry series The Rise and Fall of Blackjack Midnight. After receiving a B.A. from Alderson Broaddus College he moved to Southern California in 1976, where he now enjoys working with his horses and writing.
