Bobbie, a thirteen-year old boy, finds a ring. His mother tells him that it's just a piece of brass junk and urges him to throw it away. But he insists on keeping it. That same night, as he is falling asleep, the ring appears and tells him that it has magic powers. And indeed it has. Not only does it save Bobbie's life, but it also helps to turn two 'bad' boys from the 'wrong path' they are on, onto the path of future success. Those boys soon realize that 'good can lead to the very best, while bad can lead to the very worst'. As you turn the pages, you will learn interesting facts of early American history and about the state of California. You will also make many discoveries of America's natural wonders. All this, while the ring, with the help of Bobbie, his sister, and his three trusty friends, help to demolish the magical powers of the evil magician who makes life miserable for the residents of a small California community.
