Daniel French is the twelve-year old son of one of the world's wealthiest men.
Daniel may be rich in resources, but he is definitely poor in emotional ties with people
and practically bankrupt in social skills. Ignored by his parents and mistreated by those
employed to take care of him, Daniel has become manipulative and skilled in verbal
self-defense. Never allowed to associate with people his own age, and never allowed to
attend school, he found his friends within the books and there art of the three-story library
tower located on his family's estate. There he became entirely self-educated, and there he
developed his passion for learning.
When he is sent off to Cornwall Academy, a boarding school, he is so inept with people
that he immediately becomes the outcast with everyone except his roommate.
Small in body, great in knowledge and intellect, Daniel begins to learn quickly, and to
adapt. His school community helps him to grow, but Daniel has lessons for both his fellow
students and teachers.
It is an important day in the life of a school when any new student enters that school. That
student has the opportunity to be an influence for good or an influence for evil. Daniel
has made his choices.
Certainly, his four months spent at Cornwall Academy, are for Daniel The Age of Discovery.
