This is a story of adventure and magic. A fantasy book for both the young and old readers alike. This is a story greatly enjoyed by 3rd and 4th graders.
The Old Man from Mon-Ton had visited the village for as long as anyone could remember. However, none gave him more than a passing thought. That is until one day, a young man, Bowdean, could not stop thinking about the old man and where he lived. He followed him to his home, built into the heart of the Great Mountain, Mon-Ton. Bowdean was told that it was his “Destiny” to go on a quest. The old man showed Bowdean how to cross the desert, capture an Elf to gain his help in getting past big lizards, face a Troll, cross a long valley, and find the key, a large ruby, to gain access to another scroll. Using this scroll, Bowdean continued the quest, and found a Unicorn in a small valley. The Unicorn turned into a Pegasus and flew Bowdean over the mountains into a grand canyon, right into a battle with many Dragons.

"Imaginative world for children"
From Examiner:
Mon Ton: The Old Man and his Treasure is a children’s book by Vance Bell. Set in a small village that rests in the shadow of the Mon Ton Mountain, Bell introduces us to a magical world, rich with imagination.
Bowdean recently turned eighteen, and for some reason, he can’t get the Old Man out of his head. He’s expected to become a man now and he’s confused. He finds himself drawn to the Old Man (whom no one really knows). In fact, he remembers the day the Old Man spoke to him. His mother was taken aback. The Old Man rarely spoke.

Review of Mon-Ton: The Old Man and His Treasure, by Vance Bell
When young Bowdean follows home a notoriously strange and secretive old man his life is never the same again, as this man begins training him for a dangerous quest to seek out his greatest treasure. During this quest Bowdean befriends Elves and a Unicorn, faces over-sized Lizards, Trolls and Dragons. One thing is sure: the treasure is not what he expected.
Written in a unique fairy tale style, one feels as though they are a child sitting in bed or around a campfire, listening to a story teller weave a fantastical and adventurous tale.

"Re: New Reads Underground Review"
I want to thank you for a Great Review of ‘Mon-Ton: The Old Man and His Treasure’
I would also like to let you and the readers know that some of the “moments where you wish you knew just a little more” are revealed in the second book of the Mon-Ton story. ‘Mon-Ton: The Quest to Misty Island’ which has now been released for sale to the public.
However, I would also warn everyone that some new “moments where you wish you knew just a little more” will be found in the second book and not be revealed until the third book of the Mon-Ton story. ‘Mon-Ton: The Return to Mon-Ton’ will be for sale in early 2010.
