It is a simpler time in the beautiful island of Barbados.

This desire to be popular pushes him to take incredible risks, including a deadly bus ride and a perilous canal crossing. Each risk brings with it, complications, and each complication forces him to take further risks. The biggest risk may, however, be the omnipresent threat of his mother's retribution. Will Adrian overcome his perilous trials? Will he ever learn from his mistakes? Disaster after exciting disaster, find out the answers to these questions as you follow the adventures of Adrian-at large.
