        "I remember the smell of the smoke. It surrounded me as I guided the little girls to the ladder. The children were crying, calling, reaching out for each other's hands, in hopes of finding their way to safety. We got out in time and Mr. Carver put us into a lifeboat so we could be far from the flames of the burning ship. I thought the nightmare would soon be over, but it was only just the beginning of our adventure...."
        Though written for children grades four and up, Christians of all ages love the novels in The Orphans of Mordecai's Castle series. These are the first two books, in a three-part series, published by Christian author Cara Simmons. These unique novels glorify Christ, and are filled with fun and adventure, while at the same time build character and emphasize Godly living. They also give a clear presentation of the Gospel, and provide Godly role models for children and adults alike. All across the country Christians agree these are a great read for the whole family. So, come and join the orphans as they discover what the Lord has in store for their lives!

Book One:  The Haven During a storm on the sea, a group of orphan children are sent over the side of a burning ship in an attempt to save their lives. While floating behind the ship, another disaster strikes the children. Desperate and alone, the eleven orphans land on an island and discover an old, abandoned castle hidden among the hills. With God’s help, they learn how to survive on the island and go on many adventures as they explore the strange forests around them. Questions remain at the forefront as they encounter many twists and turns:  did their ship survive the fire? Who was Mordecai and where did he hide the treasure? Will they outsmart the pirates from the Jellyfish Gang? Follow them through their journey as they discover that God is in control and learn how to trust Him in every situation. However, will they remain faithful as they battle the overwhelming odds that ultimately lead to the biggest surprise of all?

Book Two:  The Leviathan: A decade’s old superstition about what lurks below in the caves on the other side of the island is about to be challenged. Torn between doing the will of God or their own desires, the orphans discover that facing trials that come against them will bring their trust in God to a deeper level – but will life ever be the same again on the island? In the second book in a three-part-series, journey with the orphans as they learn that finding God’s will for their life can often be difficult, and the journey to get there often takes a road they would not normally choose. Follow them down this mysterious road to see what awaits them at the end – will the boys eventually get to see the great sea monster, the Leviathan, after all?
