Title: Landon Snow and the Island of Arcanum Author: R. K. Mortenson Publisher: Barbour Books ISBN: 1597893587 Genre: Inspirational/Juvenile/Fantasy
Are you uncomfortable with your child reading Harry Potter? Concerned about the stories of witches and witchcraft? There’s a Christian alternative. R.K. Mortenson’s Landon Snow Series have adventure and fantasy told from a Christian viewpoint.
In Book Three, Landon Snow and his sisters, Holly and Bridget, are visiting Grandma and Grandpa Snow in Button Up. Landon decides to visit the Button Up Public Library, and of course his sisters have to tag along.
The library is open, but seems to be abandoned. They hear water dripping, as if the roof is leaking, but it isn’t raining. Bridget is holding Landon’s Bible when the pages start to rise from one side and fall on the other, stopping at the story of Noah and the Ark. Suddenly the waters begin to rise, and Landon, Holly and Bridget are off on a new adventure.
Suspend your belief and come along on a trip to the Island of Arcanum, where you’ll meet Wagglewhip and Battleroot and a talking horse named Melech. Kids will love the Landon Snow series, and so will adults. Put this one on your Christmas list for the young fantasy lovers you know. |
