Swing Island Book I - Power to Survive, is about a new hero, Orehon Retnu and his personal Power. , It's about the interconnection and interaction of everyone's power and how each person's power can change the world. Orehon's story unfolds in the tree top forest of Teapottum, a truly amazing place with seven-hundred foot tall trees. The trees have massive trunks and branches so tightly intertwined that, if someone were to cut one down, it wouldn't fall because neighboring trees would hold it up. Although convoluted, and at all times precarious, the interconnecting network of branches makes natural walkways between the trees. Orehon, unlike almost everyone else, much prefers bypassing the twisting pathways in favor of swinging on vines directly from tree to tree, and there always seems to be a vine just right for getting Orehon where he wants to go. Growing up as a nomadic hunter, Orehon knows the ways of the forest, but not the ways of adults and their politics. Book I, by Richard Bennett-Woods, introduces us to Orehon, a boy who is plunged into a dangerous and confusing new world where he must find his personal power without losing his identity.
