Middle school fiction, endorsed by Nancy Rue, award-winning author of youth and adult fiction: "Just when I thought the best fantasy-mystery-adventure books had already been written, I found Gavin Goodfellow. NOW you have the best! Not only is the story deliciously strange and can’t-put-it-down intriguing, but Gavin and the challenges he bumps into are as real as you are. And at the center of it all, you’ve got God—like you’ve never experienced God before. So follow Gavin into Burnt Swamp and be prepared for the journey of your life!" What do twelve-year-old dyslexic Gavin Goodfellow, strange old prophetically-inclined Uncle Warney, newly relocated mother-daughter witches from London, and a pimply-faced New Age guru have in common? Burnt Swamp—where flames from a mysterious underground fire have been smoldering for ten years. The battle is on for dominion of the swamp and possession of an ancient diary that holds clues to either release or destroy the evil that dwells beneath the surface. Will Gavin respond to the Holy Spirit and embrace his God-given calling? Or will Bea Daark and her mother unleash forces that lure Gavin and the sleepy town of Ashboro into bondage? Keep a cool head. Stay alert. The Devil is poised to pounce, and would like nothing better than to catch you napping. Keep your guard up. - 1 Peter 5:8 (The Message) This book is being used in Christian schools and by home schoolers. A free teacher's guide is available from the website, www.GavinGoodfellow.com.
