The Chosen Kids: Encounter at the Dunes (The Chosen Kids Saga)

Goonies meets Narnia in this supernatural Christian adventure that combines themes such as following your calling, trusting God, obeying the Holy Spirit, looking to Jesus for strength, spiritual warfare, serving the least of these, loving your neighbor, forgiveness, and more!

The Chosen Kids are relatable, rough-around-the-edges, unlikely heroes who embark on a summer quest that will change their lives forever. Readers will follow along as these lovable, wisecracking kids strive to save the country from evil beings disguised as humans, while finding their identities in Christ!

This is book one in The Chosen Kids Saga. What if you were just an ordinary kid one minute and tasked by God with saving His world the next?

On the sunny coast of California, 11-year-old book lover Caiden and his family set off for The Dunes after months of lockdown. Caiden decides to leave his book at home for the trip and explore the beach for once.

Their fun-filled day is interrupted when an encounter sends the group on a secret mission to save humanity. Caiden was hoping for a fun adventure, not a dangerous quest! He’d like to put it off for ten years—or at least a week!

Each of the family members is appointed a certain job and receives a supernatural tool based on their skills and traits. But reluctant Caiden struggles with his task and threatens their success. With only one afternoon to learn their new roles, the Chosen Kids must put faith over fear and rely on the Holy Spirit’s guidance to prevent the enemy from causing an unnatural disaster in their Golden State.

Along with supernatural objects, spiritual growth, and amusing kid banter & antics, this easy-to-read middle grade series offers a fun & thrilling adventure with action, mystery, suspense, humor, chills & thrills, and cliffhanger chapter endings to keep your child turning the pages!
