Description

What if you were just an ordinary kid one minute and tasked by God with saving His world the next? On the sunny coast of California, 11-year-old booklover Caiden and his family set off for The Dunes after months of lockdown. Caiden decides to leave his book at home for the trip and explore the beach for once. Their fun-filled day is soon interrupted when a supernatural encounter sends the group on a secret mission to save humanity. Caiden wanted a fun adventure, not a dangerous quest! He’d like to put it off for ten years—or at least a week. Each of the family members is appointed a certain job and receives a supernatural tool based on their individual skills and traits. But reluctant Caiden struggles with his task and threatens their success. With only one afternoon to learn their new roles, the Chosen Kids must put faith over fear and rely on the Holy Spirit's guidance to prevent an evil being from causing an unnatural disaster in their Golden State. Encounter at the Dunes is book one of the new Christian middle-grade series, The Chosen Kids. Suitable for ages 10 to 13. But this series isn’t just about the adventure of hunting monsters and sending them back to the underworld. This story is about the spiritual journey of each of the characters. They start off as selfish or mean or irritating or bossy or disobedient or maybe a little confused. But by the time their quest is over, these chosen kids will be the children God always knew them to be. With family love, kid banter, humor, danger, supernatural power, and the story of redemption all woven into it. Set in the present day, but with a nostalgic feel, this fast-paced adventure is sure to inspire young Christian readers. The adventure continues in Encounter at Paradise coming March 2023
