About the Book Light of Mine

Book: Light of Mine

Author: Alen Brokken

Genre: Christian Fantasy Middle-grade

Release Date: November 3, 2019

Light of Mine, introduces Lauren (12), Aiden (9), and Ethan (5) who bear the responsibility of keeping their Father’s newly constructed Tower of Light shining in his absence.

Darkness is spreading through Zoura. Beyond the borders of the heathlands, innocent animals are being turned into monsters, and good men into pawns of the Dark One. Father has vanished after joining the Mighty Mercenaries and mother has gone missing in search of him.

Alone on the farm, twelve-year-old Lauren and her brave little brothers, Aiden and Ethan, must guard the Tower of Light that will guide both parents home. But when a hooded stranger is caught trespassing the farm, and a new bishop claims the church, confusion pervades their close-knit community. Will the children be able to recognize who is a threat to the Tower and who is there to help them protect it?

With little else but the aid of a trio of blessed pets, three mysterious weapons, and their growing faith, Lauren, Aiden, and Ethan find it is up to them to stop the agents of The Dark One from putting out the Light and dooming the heathlands to Darkness.

Fans of Little House on the Prairie will feel at home in the series’ classic farmstead setting, and the sincerity of the children’s love for one another— nurtured by the example of their parents—will bring a smile to readers and listeners of all ages.

Read Light of Mine aloud to your family or confidently give it to your middle-grade reader, knowing he or she will be ensconced in a wholesome and riveting experience, beginning to end.

My Thoughts on Light of Mine:

I am always on the look-out for good children’s books.  Lately, my children have really begun to like fantasy books.  They’ll look at the library and see some that look interesting and bring them to me to see if they can check them out.  All too often I have to tell them no, that they can’t get the book until I’ve had a chance to research the author and the book.  Or sometimes, I have to grab the e-copy from the library and read it myself first.  

With this book, I knew that I wouldn’t have to pre-read it.  The author is a Christian father so I have to think that he also has faced wanting his children to read good wholesome books.  Knowing that I did still pre-read this book because I wanted to be able to give it an honest review. 

My honest review is. . . we can’t wait for books two and three to come out later this year!!

This is a great fun read and my kids have all been taking turns reading it.  Every child who can read chapter books has read this book as quickly as they could because the next child was ready to snatch it from them!

We highly recommend this book and can’t wait for the rest of the series.

I was not required to write a positive review nor was I compensated in any other way. All opinions expressed are my own. I am disclosing this in accordance with the FTC regulations.
