The Quickening: Book #4 Bright Star Journals

Story number 4 from the previous “Bright Star Journals” introduces Cousin Mercy Smithton of Heather and Edward Fillingston into the adventures of Logoland. The children enter Logoland through a magical attic window in their grandfather’s old house. Mercy meets Groundgood the gnome while Edward and Heather are transported to the capitol city of Sanctua in Logoland. Once there, they find the true king of Logoland, Barbabus X, has been deposed and the evil Licentiousions have taken control. Edward and Heather must find the king and return Logoland to the Bright Star. The children must cross the “Desert of Doubting” to Licentia. Mercy joins them and off they set with the help of their guide Andrew the Armadillo. They are attacked by the harpies and soldiers of Licentia but the dogs of Logoland help them defeat the evil ones. The children bind shelter in the desert at the “Oasis of Irene”. In the oasis, they are discovered and escape through a door provided by the Bright Star. Mercy meets the Bright Star in the caves at the “Oasis of Irene” and learns about faith. Their adventures to find the King would take them through many adventures including passing into the “Woods of Forgetting” which they now encamped, across the “River of Wrongdoing”, into the “Mountains of Temptation”, through the “Pass of Hopelessness”, across the “Plains of Pouting” and into the “Hills of Hostility”. Come along and see how to rescue a king while learning about true courage and character!
