The Lost Celt
Primed by their favorite video war game pitting Celts against Romans, Mikey and Kyler are convinced that they’ve seen a real live Celtic warrior. Has the Celt time-traveled as part of a secret defense project? In tracking him down, the boys solve the biggest mystery of their lives.
Written in the voice of Mikey, a fourth-grader who believes that eating crunchy things will get your neurons to fire, The Lost Celt follows Mikey’s adventures as, with the help of clues from Celtic mythology and his military history book, Mikey tracks down the elusive stranger.
But it’s not time travel that Mikey finds at the end of his search—it is the disorienting invisible effects of war (PTSD and mild traumatic brain injury). In a heart-warming turn of events, Mikey must protect his new friend and find him a path to recovery.
