The Dragon, The Griffin, and The Children of Light (Paperback or Softback)

"How about we go on an adventure together?"

Jamie was disappointed to miss his school field trip because he was sick, but these words from Nana immediately lift his spirits. Together with Nana and little brother Cole, Jamie journeys into the forest, where the group finds more wonder than they ever could have expected-when walking along a seemingly ordinary path, they see something shocking and far from ordinary. Their adventure leads them to the magical world of Nevaeh. The boys love exploring Nevaeh, playing, eating, and swimming in the soothing waters of the Crystal Lake with their new friends Xela and Kema. But when an ancient boundary is transgressed and all of Nevaeh comes under threat, Jamie and friends will discover that the path to saving the world is found in the values of an empowered Christian life.

The first entry in the Adventures with Nana series of Christian first chapter books, The Dragon, the Griffin, and the Children of Light will enchant young readers ages six and up and their parents alike.

J.B. Bartel lives with her husband in Chilliwack, B.C., near their now adult children and their families. This allows her to have regular "Nana days" adventuring with her grandchildren and making up stories with them, which inspired the story of The Dragon, the Griffin, and the Children of Light. Along with reading, writing, and spending time with family, J.B. loves cycling, sketching, and doing anything involving nature. She's also active in her local church group.
