Summary

"LEGACY" is a heartwarming collection of 10 short stories for young adults. Some of the stories are based on the author's impromptu, on–demand storytelling to his young children. Instead of reading a story, he would make one up – his kids would cry "tell me a story from your mouth!", so he would. A few of the stories are based on the author's real experiences; some thrilling, some funny, some heart stopping. All in all, the reader will find the stories unusual, somewhat unexpected, and humorous.
1. Photo Number 12 is a story about an old Brownie camera whose film holds a mysterious surprise.
2. The Remote tells a tale of a TV remote transformed into a portal to another dimension.
3. Tommy Bolt is a heartwarming story of a boy genius at Princeton University who makes an earth-shattering discovery.
4. The Little Men in the Woods are just that - a race of small people living deep within a forest primeval.
5. Over the Horizon takes place on a remote tropical island that holds a big surprise for a young adventurer.
6. Kaboom! Follows a fourth of July celebration gone bad.
7. Dave and Charlie's Tuckerman Adventure is a true story of skiing at the treacherous Tuckerman ravine.
8. The Mystery of Dunbar Island (The Piseco Triangle) tells a story of colonial heroism and lost treasure.
9. Dennis Blackburn, Boy Detective – The Mystery of the Stolen Bicycles follows the hero of "The Shar Dynasty" in his return as a boy detective.
10. The Opening follows a young lad as he faces a Russian chess master in the match of the century.
