Book Nook: A Thorn in Their Side

 

In Sarah Bellhouse's “A Thorn in Their Side”, four friends- Jonathan, Tara, Charlie and Kelsey - find themselves on a mission to retrieve special amulets in order to defeat the recently released-from-prison vampire, Thorn.  But, as we know, rescuing anything from evil isn’t as easy as you’d hope.  Will this daring foursome be up to the task and save the day?

 

Bursting with high tension and thrilling adventure, Sarah Bellhouse’s “A Thorn in Their Side” makes for great, and not too spooky, bedtime reading.

With its winning (good overcoming evil) plot, this vampirical tale will not only have its young readers chomping at the bit to find out what happens next, but its protagonists – Jonathan, Tara, Charlie and Kelsey - are a healthy reminder of the importance of doing deeds for the greater good.

Aimed at age 10 plus readers, this engaging and highly entertaining story, which is illustrated by the author’s son, Michael Bellhouse, is a great addition to all those family bookshelves looking for something original and less saccharin than much of today’s children’s literature.

 

Synopsis:

After an evil vampire is released from his prison, it is down to Jonathan, Tara, Charlie and Kelsey to retrieve the amulets in order to defeat him and save all the lands. Will they be up to the task? What will they discover about themselves along the way? Can they defeat Thorn once and for all?
