Children of Gallor

Fourteen-year-old Maggie Daginoor thought she and her two younger brothers were in the typical American family. But her parents have a secret, and secrets don’t last forever.

Early one morning, the Daginoor children watch as their mom and dad are taken from them by a mysterious extraterrestrial vessel. Maggie’s uncle rescues the children and tells them the family’s secret. They’re not who they think they are. Soon they embark on a perilous journey that takes them to an eerie planet inhabited by many nations, all conquered by one evil empire.

Children of Gallor follows the Daginoor children as they struggle with hunger, lack of sleep, and fear for their lives while waging battle against sinister forces to find their parents, and ultimately, find themselves. Worn down and surrounded by unimaginable conflict, the young protagonists must come to terms with their own strengths and weaknesses and defy their sheltered youth as they tackle the dangers of a daunting foreign world.

Full of action, adventure, and drama, Children of Gallor is a unique coming-of-age story with a delicious sci-fi twist that’s sure to appeal to imaginative, creative thinkers, as well as to anyone interested in stories about personal growth and overcoming adversity.

In his debut novel, Children of Gallor, Bravo uniquely combines a fantasy world he's been developing over the past twenty years with strong, vibrant characters inspired by his own children. A dramatic and didactic coming-of-age story set against a highly imaginative sci-fi backdrop, it tells a tale of action, adventure, tragedy, and triumph, and shows how-by confronting conflict with intelligence, skills, and values-otherwise-ordinary children can grow to become extraordinary people.
