youth worlds that kids actually want to read

We all know it can be hard to find stories that are safe (that you don't have to pre-read and vet), but are also exciting enough to captivate our children. That's why after selling more than 15 million copies of adult Christian Fiction, I decided it was time to focus on our youth.

If your child is reluctant to reading, or maybe they even really love reading but struggle to find amazing stories they love, these books are built to keep them engaged while providing faith-based transformational lessons.

What is the story about? Your children will venture into a world where dragons rule the skies and courage is tested in the face of fear. Journey with Jack as he leaves the safety of Sanctuary and lands on a desolate Earth, where danger lurks in the shadows and the line between good and evil is not always clear. Join us for an unforgettable adventure that will challenge the way readers see faith, fear, and the power of truth. A must-read for all ages 8+.

THE INSPIRATION BEHIND THE STORY

From award-winning authors Ted and Rachelle Dekker comes a series that is sure to thrill and inspire kids of all ages (including adults!). If you want your children to learn to stand with great conviction and fierce love in these changing times, this is the series for you. Hear what Ted and Rachelle have to say about what inspired this incredible tale in the video above.

Turn 'Do I Have to?' into 'Just one more chapter... please!'

You've tried everything short of bribery.

The reading log. The "20 minutes before screens" deal. The graphic novels that are mostly pictures. And still, every time it is the same negotiation... because to your kids, books are homework and the screen is fun.

Here's what nobody says out loud: your child doesn't hate reading. They've just never met a book that fights for their attention as hard as a screen does.

Ted Dekker has spent his career writing thrillers adults couldn't put down, NPR readers even named him one of the top suspense writers of all time. And They Found Dragons takes that same suspense engine and rebuilds it for a child's attention span: short chapters that cut on cliffhangers, a hero their own age, stakes that never let up. Co-written with his daughter, Christy Award-winner Rachelle Dekker, it's paced like the shows they binge, except this time "one more" means one more chapter not one more episode.

WHAT'S INSIDE

GET ALL THREE STORIES

Book 1: The Boy Who Fell From The Stars

Jack is a young boy (12) born among 169 survivors of a global apocalypse who now orbit the earth and await its restoration so they can return to the surface. With supplies dangerously low, the time for waiting is over. Humanity’s last survivors must return now or die among the stars.

There is a problem, though. A big one. Dragons now rule the planet and mankind’s only hope rests with a small team of highly trained teenagers who are immune to the dragons’ toxic breath, which has poisoned Earth. Only they can lead humanity. But first, they must get to the surface . . . alive.

BOOK 2: Journey To The Silver Towers

The quest continues as Jack and the small band of teenage Dragon Slayers must find the dragon hives, hidden deep in the Colorado Rockies, and destroy the queen.

But things on the surface are not what they seem, and no one could have imagined what would await them at every turn. Enter a thrilling adventure where light and shadow collide and betrayal threatens to rip the already frail alliances apart. Can Jack, the unlikeliest of heroes, fulfill his calling and lead them all?

BOOK 3: Rise Of The Light Bringer

In the epic conclusion, Rise of the Light Bringer, Jack must face the greatest darkness this world has ever known. Only by discovering the greatest Truth himself, and stepping into the Light, will he find the strength to do what only he can. But will he rise up?

There is no Plan B. No rescue party. Humanity’s future hangs by a frayed thread and the clock is ticking down to the final face off.
