    About this ebook

    A young boy, Surapan, loses his football into the Dark Forest. All the village is afraid of the forest. It is full of Spirits. Surapan conquers his fear and goes into the forest alone to find his ball. Strange things happen there. Things are not what they seem. A flower that can understand. A tree that speaks, and a magic owl, all help him find his ball. He thinks his problems are over.
    Unfortunately, arriving back in his home, Surapan finds that things are even stranger than he thought while in the forest. Both his parents are now terrified of him. They can hear him, but cannot see him. What has happened to him?
    Surapan has to find a way to resolve his situation.
    On the advice of his grandmother, Surapan has to be brave and go back into the forest. Will he find the answer there, or will the spirits of the Dark Forest give him even more problems?

    J. Christen Adams

    When people ask me what I’m so happy about, my immediate response is, ‘I woke up this morning’. It may sound a bit overdone but it just happens to be true. I think I’m the luckiest man I know.I’ve had (and am still having) a life full of rich and different experiences. Lucky not to die in the underwater caves of South Australia, prawn boat deck hand on Australia's Barrier Reef, an AFS volunteer working with exchange students from many different countries, flying hangliders 12,000 feet above the Australian outback, getting frightened fighting bushfires, teaching English in Thailand and South Korea and time as a Buddhist monk in rural Thailand are just a few off a list I almost can't believe myself.Through all this, I have developed a passion for bringing people of different cultures together. It is only through learning about each other that we come to understand that, though we may be different in many ways, we are all the same human beings underneath. We all laugh and cry, we all bleed the same colour blood when cut, we all need food and we all share this beautiful planet.Let us hope that through understanding, we can attain the tolerance required to help make this world a better place.My writing allows me to explore ideas, emotions, people, relationships and occasionally morality. Although I have been told I shouldn’t, I jump the boundaries between children’s books, adult fiction and poetry. I am much more comfortable with things that set us free rather than those that limit expression.I write for the simple pleasure of it, though also in the hope that some of my scribble might inspire someone, somewhere, to work, in some small way, towards making a better world for our children.

      Acknowledgment

      To discover the enjoyment of reading, is the greatest gift any child can be given.

      My parents gave it to me, and I passed it on to my children.

      I hope this small story may ‘light the spark’ for other children too.

      My gratitude goes to everyone who helped with this book. They know who they are.

      Chapter 1. The Red Ball

      Once upon a time, on the side of a tall mountain, there was a little village. It had narrow streets and colourful houses with straw roofs. It was only a small village, so all the people who lived there knew each other. Below the village, were fields that grew rice, and pastures of green grass where the cows lived. Above the village was a dark forest.

      Just like their colourful houses, the people in the village wore clothes of many colours. They had a special colour for each day of the week. Monday was a yellow day, when everyone in the village wore something yellow. Sometimes it was a hat, sometimes a scarf. Sometimes, it was even yellow trousers. Tuesday’s colour was pink. On this day, pink socks and shirts were popular, everyone wore something pink on Tuesdays. Wednesday was a green day and Thursday an orange day. On Friday, all the people wore something blue. The weekend colours were purple and red - purple for Saturday and red for Sunday.
