What will happen if Coop must choose between returning to his handicapped life and the one he has always hoped to lead?

In the second edition re-release of Cooper Ridge, The Wonder Kid, a young adult fantasy book, the line between dreams and reality is crossed when a quadriplegic sixteen-year-old imagines he is a great ball player while he sleeps. Such dreams would not be extraordinary if strange changes weren't happening in the body of the young man as a result; Coop is growing stronger and healthier and then there are the mysterious times that his body appears to have moved in the night. Could he really be living the dreams made of real memories that his mother theorizes are carried down from the stars on the wings of fireflies? What if he could trap those gifts; could he live in that imaginary life - in somebody else's memory - while he is awake? If so, who must live a nightmare while Cooper has stolen the dream?

Originally published in 2006, this fantastical story has been completely reworked for a new audience and with added content.
