Three Against the Dark
Fantasy/adventure novel for mid- and upper-elementary aged children. For sale at Amazon.com, for $2.99, and free to read on KindleUnlimited.
"When three children move to an old house in rural Georgia, they have no idea the secrets the house holds for them. Soon the Christopher children find magical fun in the basement, and portals that transport them to places of both beauty and of terror. Who can they trust? How will they travel to these other worlds, and how will they get back? Their lives are complicated more when they discover other children, trapped in a house of fear and slavery, and only the Christopher children can rescue them. Will they succeed without becoming prisoners themselves?"
From the author:
"My friends and I grew up loving the old houses in classic British children's literature, those mysterious, huge mansions where Lewis's evacuated children were lost into Narnia, or Lucy Boston's house of wonder that grew over the centuries for Tolly and his friends. Even Tolkien's hobbit houses evoke mixed feelings of adventure, warmth, danger, and coziness.
Where are the houses in American children's literature? Three Against the Dark and its upcoming sequel Federal Hill answer this question. Why are the Christopher children drawn to houses that transport them to other worlds? And will they succeed in the missions given them?"
