The Kingdom of Mangonel - by Jack Scherm (Hardcover)

Book Synopsis

After Buddy's adventure of a lifetime in Mangonel, he's ready for more. However, he might have bit off a bigger adventure than he can chew when he ventures into The Land Beyond with a new friend.

On the tails of The Kingdom of Mangonel comes Jack Scherm's sequel, The Kingdom of Mangonel: The Land Beyond.

Raised in the Colorado mountains, Buddy Baily's wild spirit had never felt more at home than in a fantastic, fanciful land known as Mangonel. In his first journey, Buddy had become a grizzly bear-getting a strange, fascinating perspective on the world.

Now back in his own reality, Buddy eagerly waits for the next time he can return to Mangonel-and discover whatever he had missed on his first visit, like "The Land Beyond."

Despite hearing tales-and a bad personal experience-that the place was not a pleasant one, Buddy gets the chance to return to Mangonel and befriends a local who indulges his curiosity. Together, they decided to brave the unknown.

The Kingdom of Mangonel: The Land Beyond is littered with life lessons, so long as you search for them. Intended for children of six, all the way up to adults, The Kingdom of Mangonel features a glossary to encourage a love of reading and sets a spark ablaze in young readers' hearts for educational, thrilling narratives.

The author hopes this second installment brings joy to his readers, allows them to bask in far-off adventures, and encourages them to discover a new way on how to enjoy life.
