Other editions of book The Trials of Lance Eliot

“Move over Harry Potter and Hunger Games! M.L. Brown is the literary love child of Suzanne Collins and J.K. Rowling. It’s YA adventure for an audience that is looking for something slightly more mature. Brown’s mix of wry humor and pensive storytelling about Lance Eliot’s epic journey makes this book a must-read.”- Jason Chatraw, co-author of Mystics, Mavericks & Miracle Workers“The way Lance told his own story was both humorous and thought-provoking, and I felt connected with the character and wanted to find out what happened to him. The pace of the novel was excellent, with enough action and suspense to keep me turning pages and enough introspection to make the action scenes meaningful.”- Amy Green, author of Quest for the Scorpion’s Jewel and Escape from Riddler’s Pass“True-to-life characters and somewhat sardonic wit, combined with Brown’s gift of imagination, make this page-turner a joy to read.”- Mark Sommer, Book Review Editor for HollywoodJesus.com“I enjoyed my journey into the past with Lance Eliot. Ironically, I was reading A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court at the same time; I enjoyed Brown’s tale as much as Twain’s.”- Bob Staples, English Department Chair for Bethel College“The Trials of Lance Eliot is an epic tale that drew me in to every character and situation. The descriptions are palpable and the personalities definite. It takes you on a journey you will never want to leave.”- Maia Manchester, Editor-in-Chief for Maadi Messenger* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *BOOK DESCRIPTIONLance Eliot is a struggling first-year student at Oxford College when a mage mistakenly summons him to the kingdom of Rovenia in the world of Gea.
