RE: The Foundlings

The latest book I have had the opportunity to review is Foundlings by Matthew Christian Harding.  It is $11.95 and available from the web site http://www.matthewchristianharding.com, as well as Amazon and Barnes and Noble. 

Foundlings is book one of The Peleg Chronicles.  The novel is set in the post flood era after the Tower of Babel and is a mix of fantasy and historical fiction.  The reader will follow McDougal, the Lord and his servant Fergus as they face giants, swords, mysterious inventions such as wet-fire, dragons, lords, castles and the like.  The books is wholesome and presents Godly character, as well as providing suspense and dangerous adventures for the reader. 

With so much fantasy available on the market that one might not prefer their kids reading this presents an alternative with a Biblical worldview.  If you have a reader who enjoys fantasy this may be worth a go.  Unfortunately, we are not a family who prefers this type of reading so it was not a hit with my kids.  That said, I certainly appreciate what the author is trying to accomplish with this series.

Members of the TOS Crew received a free book for review purposes.
