The Upside-Down Kingdom
Paperback
(Tate Publishing Dec. 30, 2008)
It was said of this land that the very air had the power to change hearts, and that the Silver Streams could wash a mans poverty into the Great Sea. Throughout the ages, singers had sung songs, thinkers had thought thoughts, and philosophers had pondered. Astrologers and magicians had gazed into the answerless stars, but the secret of this kingdom was not revealed to the wise. Only children really understood the secret, and if they told you, you might not believe them. In The Upside-Down Kingdom, Stephanie Quinn Jones allegorizes Gods kingdom for children and adults alike. Revealing God as a loving, fatherly king and Gods kingdom as an enthralling, magical and adventurous realm to live in, Jones weaves a tale of escapade and intrigue sure to capture the interest of any young reader. Susianna and Ulysses live a life full of discoveries and adventures in The Upside-Down Kingdom. When Susiannas grumpy cousin, Clarabelle, is tricked by a deceptive troll, a journey is set in motion. Unable to rescue their companion, they seek counsel from the Great King, by whom they are given a mysterious mandate and a wonderful promise. Join Susianna and Ulysses as they embark upon a twisting and turning excursion which will turn your world upside down!
