From the publisher

Goonies meets Narnia! Are you looking for a Christ-centered adventure for your preteen? 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 kids save the country from evil beings disguised as humans, while finding their identity in Christ along the way. With a clear and true Gospel message, this unique tale combines spiritual growth, the supernatural powers of God, and amusing kid antics for a fun & thrilling Christ-centered journey, unlike any other, that will keep your child turning the pages. 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.What readers are saying about this book: “My Sunday school class was so happy to hear me reading it, you could have heard a pin drop.”-Brenda “I really like the book, the adventure that every character goes through.
