About

I'm a self-published author of environmentally friendly books for children ages 4 to 8.  The first in the series is about recycling for children.  Johnny Green and the Little Green Man was published December 2009 and is available for purchase through Xlibris, on my website, also on Amazon and B&N websites.  You can contact me through twitter, my blog, or facebook as well if you are interested in a copy, or to receive activity sheets related to the story.  This has been quite a learning experience and so fun to see both children and adults enjoy this unbeliveable story. I hope you enjoy the story and add this to your shelf of children's must reads!  

I've uploaded the complete book during this week of Earth Day so you can share it with your children, class or whomever might enjoy this during the most appropriate week of the year!

Description

<p>New from the author of the multiple award-winning fantasy saga, <em>The Daughter of the Sea and the Sky</em>, winner of the <strong>Pinnacle Book Achievement Award, Fall 2014 - Best Book in the Category of FANTASY</strong>....</p><h1><strong><em>The Children of Darkness</em> by David Litwack</strong></h1><p>Evolved Publishing presents the first book in the new dystopian series <em>The Seekers</em>. [DRM-Free]</p><h2><strong>[Dystopian, Science Fiction, Post-Apocalyptic, Religion]</strong></h2><p><em>“But what are we without dreams?”</em></p><p>A thousand years ago the Darkness came—a terrible time of violence, fear, and social collapse when technology ran rampant. But the vicars of the Temple of Light brought peace, ushering in an era of blessed simplicity. For ten centuries they have kept the madness at bay with “temple magic,” and by eliminating forever the rush of progress that nearly caused the destruction of everything.</p><p>Childhood friends, Orah and Nathaniel, have always lived in the tiny village of Little Pond, longing for more from life but unwilling to challenge the rigid status quo. When their friend Thomas returns from the Temple after his “teaching”—the secret coming-of-age ritual that binds young men and women eternally to the Light—they barely recognize the broken and brooding young man the boy has become. Then when Orah is summoned as well, Nathaniel follows in a foolhardy attempt to save her.</p><p>In the prisons of Temple City, they discover a terrible secret that launches the three on a journey to find the forbidden keep, placing their lives in jeopardy, for a truth from the past awaits that threatens the foundation of the Temple. If they reveal that truth, they might once again release the potential of their people.</p><p>Yet they would also incur the Temple’s wrath as it is written: “If there comes among you a prophet saying, ‘Let us return to the darkness,’ you shall stone him, because he has sought to thrust you away from the Light.”</p><p><strong>Be sure to read the second book in this series, <em>The Stuff of Stars</em>, due to release November 30, 2015.

The vocabulary is valuable and I like the illustrations and </font><font face="Garamond" size="3">the size of the book for children and their parents to share. </font></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;"> </p> <p> </p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;"><font face="Garamond" size="3">Of course, we all love dreaming and imaginary friends.
