I have authored a children’s fantasy fiction which is about 45000 words. The idea is new and fresh. I have failed to find a publisher/ agent. I don’t have much money to invest in large scale marketing. Please find the details of the story below.

The saga of Robin Scott is a 6 volume series children’s fantasy fiction through which the author unveils the chronicles of the making and evolution of a little boy into a super hero who ultimately grows up to become the guardian of the planet earth which the author coins as “The Big Blue Marble”. The story line is about the different adventures and hardships the little boy Robin has to face and the struggle he undergoes in life standing for the good and fighting against the evil which finally takes him to his destiny which proves to be a huge responsibility.

This story is also a mystery fiction as the author has taken conscious efforts to maintain an aura of suspense and mystery around the whole theme. Robin’s parents are murdered in the first book of the series. The detective who is investigating the case also gets murdered under strange circumstances. Robin’s grandfather who is an important character in the story is initially said to be missing and finally when he is found, he is in a state of coma not able to explain what has happened to him. The author is trying to create a ‘Nothing is what it seems to be’ kind of atmosphere through out the story until the real villains of the story are revealed which happens only in the third book of the series. Again there are instances where Robin is called as the ‘Guardian of the Big Blue Marble’ by certain key characters and when Robin asks the reason for he being called so, the answer he receives is ‘Time will give you the answer’.

This story is different from the rest of its genre due to the fact that Robin is born as a normal but hyper active kid and not with any supernatural powers. He is neither an alien nor does he possess any hi-tech gadgets. It is the destiny or the fate which is forcing the boy to travel through lot of events in his life. What ever he learns, experiences and acquires during this journey finally helps him solve the mysteries surrounding his family and turns him into a super hero and the guardian of planet earth. The first book in the 6 series fantasy fiction starts when Robin is just 6 years old. The story will be narrated in such a manner that Robin will be growing along with his readers to become a super hero and finally the guardian of the ‘Big Blue Marble’ at the age of 18 in the last book of the series. There is mystery, magic, super natural powers, fantasy and fiction which is capable of taking the readers to the edge of their seats and finally Robin Scott, the next door boy who will win the reader’s heart.

It is meant for children’s of the age group 8 to 12
