PALADIN: PAWN

by Micahel D. Young

This book is FANTASTIC!

Rich is waiting for a package...(love this scene)

What he doesn't realize is that he already has two other packages lying on his dresser that are from his grandmother.

As he opens the first package he finds "a white chess pawn with his initials engraved on it."

As he opens the second package strange things happen and a dark voice calls out a challenge.

Rich is so confused and not sure what is going on~

Later that night his grandmother goes missing.

After days of searching Rich discovers an unusual mural at the back of his grandmother's closet.

And in front of that mural stands a chess board...Rich tentatively places his pawn on the table.

With that movement Rich "unwittingly becomes a Paladin, a white knight, in training."

The challenge has now begun...

Can Rich complete the four tasks given him before "his Nemesis, a dark knight in training," completes his.

Wait until you read what his tasks are and who is helping him and who it might be that is trying to destroy him.

So many FUN SCENES throughout the book! 
This one is for the whole family!
ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT!
