“Promise me you’ll find the journal and search for the treasure,” gasped Drew’s dying mother. “It’s your destiny.” ~from Guardian by Katie Hines.
Three months later, three teenagers sat around a campfire roasting marshmallows. Drew Newman is just about to tell his friends a secret when a man steps out of the darkness. The man carries an old fashioned sword and wears a long hooded cloak. “Where is it,” the man asks. “Where is the book?” Who is this man and what does he want?
Is the man talking about the book Drew touched when he was a kid? The book was leather bound with gold and silver threads embossed on it. The threads form a tree and its root system. When he touched the book magical things happen. Is this the mysterious book the man wants? Does this have anything to do with the promise he made to his dying mother?
Drew’s adventures start that night and continue when he travels to Nova Scotia where his grandparents live. Grandpa Ian tells him a story that involves Christ’s crucifixion, ancient magic and secret societies.
When Drew is kidnapped, he meets a mysterious woman. She tells him a very different story than his grandfather did! Only then, does he begin to learn what his adventure means.
In this middle grade urban fantasy, Ms. Hines combines Christianity and fantasy making ‘Guardian’ a must read! This fast paced book is filled with twists, turns, mystery, magic and danger!
