The Isle of Dragons Contest!

9:59 AM, Sep. 24, 2009

This Contest is now
CLOSED!

Ed Dunlop's newest book--The Isle of Dragons–a powerful book to encourage young people to listen to the right voices

About the book: The Dragon Tournament—a mysterious event that draws young people by the thousands. Admission is free, but what price do the participants really pay? When sixteen-year-old Joel of Seawell, the son of a peasant fisherman, receives an invitation to the Tournament he is thrilled beyond words. Too late he learns the terrifying secret of the Isle of Dragons. Captive in a hostile land, Joel gives up all hope; certain he will never again see his home or experience the happy life he once knew. In his despair, he has overlooked a powerful force—the unconditional love of his father. http://www.talesofcastles.com/tales-from-terrestria.htm

Peer pressure—a powerful force for evil. Parental love—a powerful force for good. The Isle of Dragons—a powerful book to encourage young people to listen to the right voices http://www.talesofcastles.com/tales-from-terrestria.htm.

And now that I've started my homeschooling journey, I've encountered so many more wonderful titles. I'm going to have to practice my speed reading (and teach my kids) so we can get through them all. Thank you for sharing.

My husband is on the road most of the time--I've been looking for good books like this to encourage my son to know the important things about becoming a man--not what most people think of as being cool!

We would love to add to our collection of Mr. Dunlop's books! We have the Terrestria Series and as we re-read it through, I am amazed all over again how he eloquently presents truths from Scriptrure in a way that a child AND an adult can relate to! I have given this series as a gift, even, since it is SO good!
Thanks,

Just Wednesday night my 10-yr-old son shared with me that he was having some peer-pressure issues...I've already tweeted the contest (/patfenner) and posted it on my facebook status. I'll be adding it to my website's newsletter today, too!

By "2 entries", do you mean two comments to this post? Or link to the contest in 2 places (i.e Facebook and Twitter, blog and Facebook, etc...)?

The scenario reminds me a little of that part in Pinocchio where the boys are encouraged to behave badly and lead to believe there are no consequences until they begin to turn into donkeys. It sounds like a wonderful teaching/learning opportunity.

OK. So I posted it on my Facebook. Is that right? My facebook email is not the one I use, thought. Please email me at christywallace@suddenlink.net. Thanks, and I am excited to have the chance to win.

My daughter would love this book!

10:35 AM, Oct. 2, 2009, posted by sisterchristian36

My daughter (12) is fascinated with dragons, however, she usually leans towards the ones that are a little too old for her. Usually we also find that there is a lot of darkness/magic that is not appropriate for a young Christian lady to read. This book that you are offering sounds like it would fill her need to read and would get our approval as well! So, please enter us!! Thanks so much!

Six of my children have read the Terrestria Chronicles and loved them, and I know the younger ones will read them as soon as they are able. How wonderful to have more books by Mr Dunlop! This will make the perfect "wisdom" gift for Christmas!

Our 10-year-old is really struggling with some peer relationships (cousins within the family), who are quite disrespectful, using foul language, ridiculing him for being "proper," etc. We would love for him to read literature about why resisting is better than following these behaviors!
