"Give a man a fish, and he will eat for a day. Teach him to fish, and he will eat for a lifetime. Teach him to steal, though, and he won't have to eat fish every day for the rest of his life."
Are you looking to get into an exciting new series this summer, one full of adventure, danger, and humor? Seek no longer, adventurers, but pick up "The Dungeoneers" by John David Anderson. If you loved Harry Potter or N.D. Wilson's Ashtown Burials, you will most likely enjoy romping through dungeons with Colm and his friends.
Colm Candorly knows what it's like to be poor. With eight daughters and one son, Colm's dad works his fingers to the bone fixing shoes in their small town, but there never seems to be enough to go around. With eight torturous sisters, Colm has learned the art of sneaking and stealing to keep his sanity. One day, he gets fed up with his lot in life and decides to put his skills to use by pick-pocketing in the town square. While he brings in a haul, Colm also brings down judgement on himself, and he has the choice to either lose his hand or join The Dungeoneers Guild, leave his family, and hone his lock-picking skills at a school for thieves of all sorts. Filled with friendship, adventure, and hard choices to make, "The Dungeoneers" will keep you reading late into the night, and when you finish, you won't be able to wait for Colm's next adventure to begin. Appropriate for fourth to seventh grade. Request a copy today by clicking on the link above.
