We were so excited when we saw this book. We have a lot of books that interest our daughters. But not many that our son enjoys reading. When he first saw this book he wanted to instantly dive into. His birthday is coming and we will be getting book 2 for him. YEAH!! Finally he enjoys reading!! Thank you SO much Matthew Christian Harding!
About the book: Description found from Matthew's website.
Foundlings, book one of The Peleg Chronicles
is Historical Fiction that takes place in the time period of Peleg, soon after the tower of Babel dispersion. In its pages we meet dragons, giants, false priests, the death hunt, an under-city of the Dwarven Brotherhood, and many memorable characters. The story begins with Lord McDougal and his faithful shield-bearer, Fergus Leatherhead, departing their lands with giants at their backs, while before them lie in wait denizens of the bog-land and forest. Ever ready to protect and serve others, they gather in tow an assortment of displaced adventurers and find themselves embroiled in a mysterious search for the foundlings: orphaned Thiery with his companion Horatio the white wolf, and Suzie who has been deceitfully retained by the thieves Elvodug and Flemup. Others also seek the foundlings, and their purposes are most sinister - Dragon Priests who practice cozen sacrifices, and their leader Count Rosencross who is torn by his God given conscience and his pursuit of personal glory. Onward toward the city of Hradcanny they travel, meeting with treachery, beast attacks, camaraderie and psalms of praise with an eye toward the gospel. Though their battles are at times fierce and the outcomes uncertain, the author maintains the integrity of these noble characters, who through weakness are made strong by Him in whom they trust. Foundlings weaves together the Biblical principles of chivalry, truth, courage, duty, faith and love within the framework of Genesis, and a bold adherence to its historicity. It's an exciting page turner that leaves you wanting more, but more importantly it leaves the reader with Godly heroes to think on and emulate, and a young earth creationist view of history that conforms to the Word of God. |

Like I said before, we loved this book. It's very difficult to find books that hold the interest of my son that we approve of. Of course he loved all the characters, action and adventure. This book has opened up a whole new world for our son. Our daughters enjoyed it some, but I think it is more in tune for boys. That is just my opinion!
This book can be found at many book stores. Amazon, Barnes and Noble as well as Zoe and Sozo Publishing. for around $11.00. It is well worth that. To tell you the truth I can't wait to read the next one!!
I received a copy of the book in exchange for my honest review. To see other Crew member's reviews go on over to the TOS Homeschool Crew blog.
