Adventure at Lockdown Mountain Andy Drake

A heroic quest. Colourful characters. Branching choices. And Lockdown Mountain! It is a day like any other until the King of the realm arrives with foreboding news and a desperate plea for help. His daughter will be trapped in time forever unless a hero steps forth to reclaim The Cup of Wisdom from the evil clutches of Gabriella, a twisted Wizard bent on obtaining its power for herself. The Cup is hidden in the mountain behind your town and the journey to secure it will be like none you can imagine. Create your hero. Make your choices. But will you save the day? Do you have what it takes? Only one way to find out....journey to LOCKDOWN MOUNTAIN...! Each chapter is beautifully illustrated by the artist Kayley Jane Cracknell who also painted the front cover to the book. 'Adventure at Lockdown Mountain' is suitable for ages 7+ and can be enjoyed alone or as shared reading (perhaps between parent and child, and especially so for younger ages). The story is also an excellent means by which to discuss or reflect upon things like the real lockdown that has affected us all alongside more general themes such as friendship, choice, disappointment, hope and of course what it take to overcome life's challenges. The author has been a church and charity leader for 30 years and currently works with YMCA Essex helping young people, children and families enjoy better lives, hopes and futures. All the proceeds from this book will gladly go towards the YMCA's work.
