Here are the thoughts of my 12yods. He hasn’t done any formal writing so bear that in mind when reading his thoughts about the series, Terrestria Chronicles by Ed Dunlop.
Book: Terrestria Chronicles series
by Ed Dunlop
Name: John
Date: 2007
This book is an allegory, written by Ed Dunlop. It was written in 2006. It is set in medieval or castle-times. Mr. Dunlop writes the book from one person’s perspective: an omniscient perspective.
The basic plot about this story is good vs. evil, right vs. wrong, like many books. The main characters in this book are Josiah and Selwyn. Josiah is a slave boy to Argamor, an evil blacksmith. After making an attempt to escape with the help of a stolen file, he is caught and tied to a tree, where a flogging would take place. After being tied to the tree, the King arrives and frees Josiah of his Chain of Iniquity and his Weight of Guilt. The King then adopts Josiah into the Royal family, and Josiah is taken to the Castle of Faith.
The spiritual value of this book is pretty good, being an allegory. I think that other boys, and girls would enjoy this book. I would like my Mum to read it aloud to us, but we are still reading the Kingdom Series.

Hi John, This was very good. I have a question for you.
I have looked at the Kingdom series for my 12 year old son (Jackson) and today you wrote about the Dunlop Ministry series. Which one do you like the best? Which one would be best for a boy, who has not read a lot of allegories, mostly Hank the Cowdog (HA HA!)
Thanks for your input John!

Well I say well done! Formal lessons or not, that is well written. I’ve got 3 boys, none of them at 12 could write so well.
I’ll have by boys come read your post and see if they’d be interested in the book.
