Copper Breadcrumbs - Clandestine Citadel Press;James Edgar

A ’Chosen One’ story for those who fear they’ll never be chosen.
Fourteen-year-old Frank Williams dreams of being a heroic knight like the legends he loves. Unfortunately, he lives in the wrong century and at school he is known only as "Frank the Fatso." Bullies make it easy to forget that deep down he is really Sir Franklin the Hero.
After a deadly bus crash that leaves Frank mysteriously unharmed, he discovers he can sense a strange copper essence no one else notices.
Then students at school begin to vanish.
When Frank finds a copper scent is left from the places they disappeared from, he realizes something impossible may be happening. Magic.
No one believes him. To everyone else, Frank is just the boy who cried wizard.
But if Frank wants to save his missing cousin, his classmates and himself, he will have to become the hero he has always imagined. He must band together with his two best friends to save everyone. Before they all vanish from the world forever and him with them.
