The Sword, the Garden, and the King — Michael Phillips

In this Christian fantasy novel for children of all ages, a young boy embarks on a perilous adventure to save the creatures of a magical forest.

When fourteen-year-old Matthew Robinson enters the Forest of Pellanor, he and his brother and sister have no idea what's in store for them. All of Pellanor has been waiting for them to rescue its creatures from a danger that threatens the forest families and the life they have known. But to defeat the evil deceiver Argon, Matthew must first master his courage -- and his faith.

Noted devotional author Michael Phillips delivers a delightfully engaging Christian allegory in the tradition of George MacDonald and C.S. Lewis.
