Book by Mark Cavanagh:

The Monocle

In the quiet corners of a mundane 1960s town, two curious teenagers are about to trade the hum of their bicycle wheels for the crackle of cosmic energy… and unknowingly change their lives forever.

When best friends Viv and Mick stumble upon an alien artifact and a notebook of secret code, they unlock a strange new world where space folds and time travel is possible. As the adventurous teens master the powers of the extra-terrestrial monocle, friendship takes on new dimensions as they attempt to outrun federal agents vying to assume control of the Monocle and face fearsome creatures torn from the very fabric of nightmares!

Reviews Of 'The Monocle'

Courtnee Turner Reviewed for Readers' Favorite

"The Monocle takes readers back to the 1960s and, even if they didn't live during that time, they will appreciate the lifestyle, speech, and familiar companies. Others will relive the generation's nostalgia, perhaps placing themselves in Mick's or Viv's shoes. Mark Cavanagh moves the story along at a pace that will hold readers' interest without pushing them too quickly from one point of action to another."

Christine Rodriguez The Monocle - Reedsy Book Review

The Monocle by Mark Cavanagh grabs you with pure wonder—that feeling of being a kid again, discovering something strange and incredible, and knowing that nothing will ever be the same. This YA adventure delivers a thrilling mix of nostalgia, mystery, and mind-bending science fiction, making it a must-read for fans of Stranger Things, A Wrinkle in Time, and The Goonies."

Big Blue Society

Big Blue Society is the hysterical and emotionally-charged true story of what happens when a diverse but devoted group of men decide to overcome their differences and life challenges and live life by one motto – “Go for It… and Deny Everything.”

When disabled Vietnam veteran and war hero Norm Hansen returned home in a body cast and suffering from PTSD, he felt helpless, hopeless and lost. He asked his best friend to take him to catch a fish. The one place where fishing success was ensured was posted and patrolled. They got arrested and threatened with jail time if caught trespassing again, so they had to take their angling pursuits on the road.
