Eugene Fitzherbert is a 12 yo with a good heart and adventuresome spirit. Although he loves living at the orphanage with the other boys and their kind governess, Eugene has a desire to meet his real parents. He also loves the daring stories of Flynn Rider, and wishes to have his own excitement. Enter in the traveling circus, where Eugene finds excitement and danger and learns that some people are trouble and some people are the heroes. Which one will Eugene be?
Obviously Flynn Rider is one of the best Disney characters out there, mostly because he has a big heart. Although a bit misguided at times, Eugene wants to do what is right and this origin story shows where his endearing personality started to develop. Calonita always does well with the Disney characters in her A Twisted Tale books and she does the same in Lost Legends. Eugene’s character growth is true to the Flynn Rider from Tangled, but new and enjoyable in its own way.
