Not As We Know It by Tom Avery
Ned has always been the bold one. However, they both didn't expect the adventure to include a creature that they found washed up on the shore. They simultaneously name the creature Leonard after Star Trek. The title is from a quote from Star Trek. There are many references to Star Trek, including the dedication. You will see how everyone copes and reacts differently. You will also notice that it is the grandfather who provides special times, stories and wisdom.
Go boldly.
