Okay, down to business. I was thrilled to find myself RIGHT NEXT to the most popular children's author booth at a convention earlier this year. Tricia Martin has written a Christian adventure series for kids ages 5-11, called "The Old Tree Series," and it was SPEEDING out of there! I wondered what all the fuss was about, so I quickly looked up the reviews on amazon (I know, I know, I cheated!).
When I talked with Tricia, her faith in and love for Jesus was the primary takeaway. She wants kids to grasp the greatness of the love of God, and to understand that following Him is an exciting adventure throughout life. Tricia emphasized that the while the reader is joining a grand adventure (the reader may be meeting Abraham Lincoln in his childhood, or experiencing an adventure in an underwater kingdom, or traveling to the Wild West...each book has a different setting!) they are also learning about spiritual warfare and the loving care of God.

I would love to hear which of "The Old Tree Series" your children enjoy the most! (I happen to love Abe Lincoln, so the 7th is my favorite!)
