In 2007, following a request by his wife to read a bedtime story to his two children, Peter decided to make one up on the spot, and Skull Eye Island was born. His wife urged him to create a novel of the story."I wanted to create a story that would be exciting for children and young adults, and one that was easy to read aloud. I also wanted to keep the adults interested so that children could see their parents enjoying the story and see that reading is fun," said Greene. "That's how we create future readers, by setting an example."Jonathan Moore, the hero of Skull Eye Island and Castle of Fire succeeds using courage, intelligence and determination. "I believe that is a wonderful lesson for everyone: that they have it within themselves to do something great," says Greene. "No need to wait for a magical event or some strange relative to grant you a bizarre power - we can succeed and excel with what we have inside ourselves.
