Tom Sawyer/ King David

This is a great series of stories. The main character is a hybrid of King David, as a youth, and Tom Sawyer. The language is vivid and written in a most enjoyable fashion. Where were stories like this when I was a kid? I may not have read them but I am sure my brothers would have enjoyed them. There is not a lot of religion in these, just enough to show the boy keeping to his principles. It wonderfully displays how making the right decisions today will prepare you for whatever you face tomorrow. The imagery includes plants know in the U.S. south, as well as reptiles and animals. If you want your children to read a wholesome trilogy, this is a great pick.

A book for readers of fantasy!

great series

This series is enthralling for my 10 year old daughter (who reads at a 8th grade level). It has adventure, danger, excitement and folklore to capture and maintain interest.

New Narnia...same Truth

Jonathan Rogers obviously loves C.S. Lewis' world of Narnia (see "The World According to Narnia"), and decided to create another fantasy world where kids and adults alike can see many "heart issues" of life portrayed in a creative way. The Secret of the Swamp King (Book 2 of the Wilderking Trilogy) is a great read for kids as they can imagine themselves in the shoes of Aiden Errolson. Aiden is the main character whose life is followed on his many adventures and challenges through his life in The Realms of Corenwald. Though he lives in a world totally foreign to the reader, it is very easy to relate to his troubles and joys during his journeys.
The book is a great link for the trilogy, leading to the more impressive climax in the 3rd book, "The Way of the Wilderking".
Well worth the time, especially to read with/give to kids.
