Do you believe in miracles? What if a miracle was the only thing that could save your little brother's life? And what if the miracle is based on a centuries' old legend, which you need to prove exists to make this miracle happen? Is your faith ready to be put to the test?

Noah is a 12-year old boy who is about to put his faith to the test. You see, his younger brother Daniel is afflicted with a rare disease -Progeria, which causes rapid, premature aging. Add to the fact that Noah believes he is the cause of his brother's disease and what you get is a little man on a mission!

"What a wonderful book! Rich with fantasy situations as well as real life-lessons, Noah’s adventures are entertaining and heartening. Progeria is a subject very near and dear to my heart, and this story portrays it in a very inspirational way."

"Peter, this book is excellent! That is how I would describe this book. Definitely movie potential and needs to be reviewed in Hollywood."

Joe Mayer, Supervising ADR Editor from box office smash Pretty Woman

"Exceptional, touching, inspirational as well as educational! Should be a book found in all elementary and middle schools as it teaches empathy and an appreciation for diversity. Most uplifting book I have read in a long time!"

When a child is born with a serious condition it not only affects his parents, but his siblings as well

When Noah's mother was giving birth to his baby brother he is overcome by jealousy and wishes his brother dead. However, when his little brother is diagnosed with Progeria (a disease that rapidly ages its victims) Noah is struck with guilt and an overwhelming drive to help his brother. But where can a twelve year old turn to find a cure for an incurable disease? Find out in, The Lost Fountain by Peter Andrew Sacco.

This book takes a unlikely trio of boys on the adventure of a lifetime; to find the mythical Fountain of Youth. Sacco's characters are real-to-life and draws the reader into their world of mystery, suspense and adventure - think "Indiana Jones meets Harry Potter."

I loved this book (and I'm not just saying that because Sacco is a fellow Canadian). The Fountain of Youth is engaging and will have your tween reading under the covers with a flashlight late into the night. Move over Indiana and Harry Potter there's a new hero in town!
