In this final (for now) episode of W.W. Rowe's Mom's Choice Gold-Award-winning Eedoo adventures, heroine Sharoo, now thirteen, finds herself suddenly even more empowered—as unforeseeable treachery befalls the Kingdom. With Eedoo's help, she first learns to hold her own against unscrupulous, greedy competitors. Then she must decide whether to welcome, or be suspicious of, surprise visitors from an unknown country in the far-off Worldend Sea. Are they friendly—as they would have her believe? Or is wisdom here to be found through the ancient Broanian proverb of the 5 Fs: “Fight your foes, and fear false friends”?
