To Save a Kingdom
language
( Sept. 30, 2012)
We all start somewhere, but for Karl, Mindy, Clyde and Ashley, it begins with everyone disappearing. Even the chickens. Well, not exactly. At the center of their village, they find a wizard cackling about destroying the King before vanishing in a swirl of light.
Rushing to the next village, the siblings find it emptied as well—only a philosophical sheep remains, and he is more interested in pebbles than anything else. Desperate to find their family, the group rushes to tell the King what happened and ask for help.
But, the kingdom teeters on the edge of war and barren villages are just a dramatic test. Happy to help, but unable to divert his own forces, the King sends the children on a quest into the wizard's lair in a desperate plan to save the kingdom. Dreading imminent attack, the kingdom prepares for all out war.
