Think with your heart and prepare to die for you have been chosen.

The land of the Forest Dwellers has been decimated by the Horde under the watchful eye of the vilest of all creatures, Teeleh. Thomas Hunter, supreme commander of the Forest Guard, is forced to lower the recruitment age of his army from 18 to 16. From among thousands, four new recruits are chosen to lead––and perhaps die––for the greater good.

The chosen four are sent on a quest to prove their character, but their mission takes a dramatic turn when they are intercepted, sworn to secrecy, and redirected to a different endgame. Now they must find the seven lost Books of History. Books that have power over the past, present, and future. Books whose words are alive. Books sought by the Dark One that control not only the destiny of their world...but that of ours as well.

      Grades 8-10 Large pages and lush coloring help the reader fall into the fantastic medieval scenery, costuming, and plot of this first volume in the Lost Books graphic novel series. Johnis, a 16-year-old, is the unwilling and unwanted companion of several other youths on a quest, their people threatened by another tribe calledthe Horde. Aided by cute white bunny-bat critters and threatened by red-eyed black variations, the group ventures into desert, cave, and underwater locales, and endures inclement weather, deprivation, and troubled group dynamics. An occasional 21st-century idiom and a surprise appearance by the author help keep the tone light.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2008, American Library Association.)
