Oliver Maris Fernando Bravo

Escaping to far-off places of his imagination to forget about being bullied, is typical for sixth grader Oliver, until one afternoon he goes a bit too far. He switches places with Captain Maris, a tough-as-the-seas pirate from another dimension where space travel, tall ships, and wild adventure are the norm. Captain Maris may have survived space battles, but he'll face his greatest challenge yet while walking in Oliver's shoes. Meanwhile, Oliver is more lost than ever. When the truth comes to light, it is more than Captain Maris can bear. It shatters him and breaks Oliver, and now he has to come to terms with a whole new reality. In this middle-grade adventure about facing your fears and dealing with life-changing problems, author Fernando Bravo crafts an engaging tale that spans worlds.
