The Distania Chronicles

The Distania Chronicles are action/fantasy/adventure stories aimed at "middle grade" readers (ages 6 to 12). They tell the story of two ten-year-old best friends who accidentally discover another world complete with magic, dragons, unicorns and wizards. The friends struggle to figure out who they can trust as they meet fighting princes, an elderly king and a slew of magical creatures they didn't even think existed.




Book One: An Unexpected Adventure

When ten-year old Christopher Knight gets an email from his best friend, now living two hundred miles away, he has no idea that it holds the key to another world. The two friends unexpectedly find themselves in the magical kingdom of Distania. There they must face a raging river, dragons, a mysterious prince and an angry king - and they need to get home in time for dinner!
