Is this a good idea for a story/novel?

Your idea sounds really interesting; however when you're looking for advice on a summary, make sure it's shorter so you get the basic ideas down and the most important plot. you immediately want to mention the main character and his/her purpose/goal and the reason for the existence of this story alone. though i am sure your character's goal is in there somewhere it was just too much to handle reading in one page :) basically just make sure you have a main character, a few secondary characters, a setting, a beginning, middle, end, and always make sure the main character has a goal otherwise he or she has no purpose of being on an adventure/in a story (your idea sounds like adventure). Also make sure you have a genre as that is very important so it doesn't get too choppy or side tracked. I would also reccomend talking to other writers you know in person like a teacher, family or friend because it's easier to get advice from other writers. Hope I helped and good luck!
