Poly begins and ends with uniquely charming Christmas stories. Sam, a boy of six, never knew his Dad who was killed in the war. Mom sacrifices to give him Poly for Christmas to help fill the void. Miraculously, one year later, Poly receives a priceless gift, and Mom receives an unaffordable gift from Sam. The middle chapters recount how Poly was snatched away upon graduation from Parrot Prep and transported into a strange new jungle by a mysterious eagle named Amer. There Poly makes new friends, encounters dangerous foes, and prays to the Great One Who miraculously delivers him from almost certain disaster. Amer then reappears and takes Poly to another adventure where he learns to combine knowledge and faith to survive the Great Fall.

I definitely recommend it for the pre-teen set, and for light reading when people just need a break. It maintains your interest, has colorful characters, is well written, teaches meaningful lessons, and is very entertaining! I’m just loving it and know my granddaughters would too! This is the kind of book kids will remember and want it to be read again to them! I also recommend it as a reading book for parents to read to their children who don’t know how to read yet! (Good bedtime story). I think the kids will ask for it when they go to bed at night – a chapter a night! I KNOW what my daughter and son liked, and then my granddaughters, and this fits the bill!

I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Nice read – not too long. Not sure what age group it’s intended for. I agree it would be good for eight-year-olds and up – all who are young at heart. I really like the large font – good for old eyes.      Johnny B (grandfather); Key Largo, FL

I loved your book! I loved the cliffhangers, the insight behind the pecking order, how Poly resisted temptation, and the end! I think it would be great for seven-to-ten-year-olds.

It’s beautiful, and I like it!

Danny Boy: A Prodigal’s Journey

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0F1DVYL76?ref_=pe_93986420_775043100

Danny Boy takes place in late Eighteenth Century Scotland. It portrays different aspects of love and how God uses broken people and heals them through the power of prayer and unconditional love. The central character is Danny, a boy brought up in the safety and security of one of Scotland’s many glens who becomes alienated from his father and twin brother after losing his mother at thirteen. He takes his inheritance and leaves home at eighteen, seeking a fulfilling life through fun. He encounters both love and hardships that can either make or break a person. Redemption is only possible for Danny after he comes to the end of himself and realizes his need for God. The steadfast love of his father, assisted by two young ladies (Molly and Mary) and a prince, turns Danny around and helps him find wholeness and his place in the world of men. The themes of alienation, heartbreak, brokenness, forgiveness, and redeeming love are interwoven throughout the story. This novel was influenced by the "Parable of the Prodigal Son" and the song "Danny Boy."

Danny’s journey is divided into three parts. “Part 1: From Prodigal to Prince” takes the reader through Danny’s early life until the time he leaves his father and family, meets and forms a relationship with Molly, and launches out into the larger world to seek his fortune. “Part 2: On the Road to Dublin” chronicles his experiences as he seeks a career as a professional gambler with the intent of returning to marry Molly. “Part 3: The Journey Home” tells what happens to Danny that radically changes his life and his plans.

It is magnificent! It is exciting and intriguing. I could not put it down, The way you used emotions, and those twists and turns, all led towards a beautiful ending. I love how you brought history and the Bible together to create this story.    Chris C.; 16

I think that the hopeful message of Danny Boy is a must read for all! The heart wrenching retelling of a Bible story reminds me of Chuck Black's work, it's that good.    Jesse H.; 13

5.0 out of 5 stars  A unique, gripping novel. It was relatable, unpredictable, and satisfying. I couldn't put it down! The realistic characters were relatable for both lads and lasses, and the historic setting provided a welcome change of pace. The unpredictable twists and turns kept my interest and made it hard to put the book down. Each of the main characters was on a separate journey fraught with danger and uncertainty mixed in with love and friendship. Nevertheless, the luck of the Irish and Danny's family leprechauns must have had a hand in some of those card games! The power of love, prevailing prayer, and the hand of God were clearly seen throughout the book. I highly recommend it. Christian Patriot (Amazon Review)
