About Mickey Matson

In this family-friendly adventure, when a mythical device from ancient times is rebuilt by a group of Confederates who feel the Civil War never ended, 12-year old Mickey Matson and his friend, Sully, must follow a series of clues left to him by his grandfather to keep the evil men away from the three mystical objects that power the device. If he fails, it could mean not only the loss of his family's home, but maybe the demise of our country as we know it. Pitting good against evil, Mickey needs to make tough choices as his adventure unfolds!
