About

Do you want to know a secret?

Beneath the very ground on which you walk and beyond the stars above your head, are more worlds than you could ever dream of. There are monsters. Be afraid. Magic, wielded by witches and sorcerers. Epic adventures in worlds far across the ocean. And fearsome weapons which threaten to destroy everything.

Jimmy Crikey is a brave soul who faces some pretty scary challenges. Solving mysteries and averting mayhem, his incredible courage allows him to free up his abilities to shine and rise above every challenge in his path, on his way to discovering why he looks so very strange.

With a bright red mop of unruly hair, big blue eyes, a small snub nose, pointed ears and enormous feet, poor Jimmy is ridiculed by the neighbourhood children and runs away in search of a world where he fits in. Following a midnight flight through the forest, he stumbles into a lost, underground world called Roombelow and magic, adventure, danger and excitement await.

From the little lady who lives at the bottom of a well, a starship that wants to take him home, trolls, little people, traders and diamonite stealers to water sprites, witches, helpful dolphins, and interplanetary warfare, Jimmy learns the biggest lessons of his life.

Book Reviews
The Amazing Adventures of Jimmy Crikey: Worlds Beneath And Above The Stars stimulates creativity into imagination while encouraging children to read magical stories that inspire. After leaving his hometown for not feeling accepted by his looks, it is Jimmy’s perceived strange appearances that precisely served to usher his new beginning of harmonious community which he sets off to find for himself. This children’s book provides young readers with a fantastical voyage of a sweet boy who decides to leave home in search of new friends and social acceptance all whilst learning emotional intelligence over action-filled adventures in a magical realm trodden with elves, witches, anthropomorphic animals, galactic beings, mystical creatures in wondrous landscapes, and the like. Abounded in values and positive reinforcement such as prayer, respect for elders, trust over fear, self-discovery and self-inquiry, standing up for inner-feelings and sentiments, service and caring for others, along with courageous acts, kindness, and cooperation, The Amazing Adventures of Jimmy Crikey is exactly the sort of children’s book I would recommend to any parent wanting to both entertain and stimulate child-like creativity while supporting a healthy cultivation of self-image, perception, and self-love. The author, Wallace Briggs, employs clear language in his descriptive writing style and on occasion includes some higher-level verbiage that I find serves to encourage young readers to practice reading along with a dictionary for enriching vocabulary, a process that greatly served me as a child growing up as I began reading more literature on my own accord. Briggs also includes sketch illustrations scattered over several chapters in between, capturing the vision of Jimmy’s adventuresome settings. Briggs offers children a tale rooted in positivity that provides readers with moments of reflection on our origins and how to live in harmony with all the unique beings that surround us.
