I said that September always makes me crave middle grade adventure, so today = an excerpt from a middle grade adventure story: THE DRAGON'S TOOTH by N.D. Wilson!
Give it a listen, let me know what you think in the comments, and let me know what the onset of Fall makes YOU crave! =)
ABOUT THE BOOK:
Get It | Add It
For two years, Cyrus and Antigone Smith have run a sagging roadside motel with their older brother, Daniel. Nothing ever seems to happen. Then a strange old man with bone tattoos arrives, demanding a specific room.
Less than 24 hours later, the old man is dead. The motel has burned, and Daniel is missing. And Cyrus and Antigone are kneeling in a crowded hall, swearing an oath to an order of explorers who have long served as caretakers of the world's secrets, keepers of powerful relics from lost civilizations, and jailers to unkillable criminals who have terrorized the world for millennia.
N. D. Wilson, author of Leepike Ridge and 100 Cupboards, returns with an imagination-capturing adventure that inventively combines the contemporary and the legendary.

I loved the 100 Cupboards series by ND Wilson. I loved the excerpt! I'm definitely going to get a copy of Dragon's Tooth! Thanks for letting me know about it. I forget to check authors from my past now that my kids have outgrown them. I haven't, but they have. I guess you never outgrow some writers, right? (Oh like the changes on the wall behind you)
