"Away Boy" tells the story of Sheridan Beneke, a young boy from a small rural town in Oklahoma, who daydreams about his father serving overseas. Coping with his father's absence, Sheridan finds himself alone and isolated from the people around him. One day, the local pastor gives Sheridan a special timepiece that chimes after one minute allowing him to drift away and come back. Written by T.R. Simms and beautifully illustrated by Olga Andreyeva, the series touches on spirituality, friendship, and overcoming everyday obstacles that can change a person's life forever. "Away Boy" is a sweet and creative take on the coming-of-age genre for children between the ages of 7 - 12. The comic book series is an introduction to spirituality or possibly a reintroduction for young readers, who want to apply their faith to their everyday lives.
