A must read fiction fantasy novel by Kathy Rae that is intertwined with a Christian-faith based theme, this read offers an engaging adventure that is geared towards young adults. The story takes place in Fountain Gorge, a small city in the Northwest United States that is under siege from a portal of evil that needs to be shut. Kaleb James, at only 12 years old, is the chosen one within his family to break a generational curse. This curse has caused the death of five children within the same family. He and his cousin Kate set out to find the precious hope – a jewel -that will stop the evil and reverse the curse that has been cast on generation upon generation.
This is a fast-paced, exciting and beautifully illustrated book that is filled with adventure, faith and action from the beginning as the author teaches to readers to find hope and trust in God no matter what as the team overcomes what seems to be insurmountable mountains that stand in the way of truth and justice. This is a classic story of good versus evil, with good overpowering the evil through intriguing characters, encoded prophecy, clues and journeys that will keep young adults and pre-teens glued to what’s happening next. A highly recommended fiction fantasy novel that will give young minds an inspiring and faith-based read.
