5.0 out of 5 stars A Fun Story, October 14, 2008

By	Rien Takhid "Rien" (The greatest state) - See all my reviews

"Ryann Watters and the King's Sword" is an uplifting tale that readily incorporates portions of Scripture in innovative ways. I really liked how Mr. Reinhold has the abilities and gifts of the main character, Ryann, expand as he delves deeper into God's word. The story is simple but Truth is deeply interwoven with the action. Everyone in my family has enjoyed reading the story - even my seven-year-old brother! I highly recommend this story to all readers.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful Christian Read!!!, July 8, 2008

By	T. Rodriguez (SW FL) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Reinhold at a homeschool conference and purchased a VERY SPECIAL author signed copy of this book for my 12 year old son. When I brought it home he dove right into the book and finished it without stopping (other than to sleep) in 2 days. He has read it about 2 more times and is always asking me when the next one is coming out?!?!? Thank you for giving our children a wonderful book to read with CHRISTIAN values!!!!!! Many Blessings to you Mr. Reinhold!

5.0 out of 5 stars super middle school quest fantasy, August 10, 2009

By	Harriet Klausner - See all my reviews (#1 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

In Mount Dora, Florida, the archangel Gabriel directs young Ryann Watters to find the King's Sword. To help him on his heavenly quest, Gabriel gives him a ring, a staff, and a horn. At the same time Gabriel and Ryann discussed the mission, dark winged fallen angel Ekron directs orphan Drake Dunfellow to stop his enemies from binding him; giving him weapons too. Ryann recruits his best friends Atlanta transplant Terrel Peterson and soccer superstar Liddy Thomas to join him on the quest.

The ring leads them to a hidden portal that takes them to Aeliana. After crossing over, in Aeliana, the three buddies meet Drake who tries to prevent them from getting the King's Sword. Drake has allies too as the fight between evil and good on the spiritual plane occurs even with tweeners.

RYANN WATTERS AND THE KING'S SWORD is a super middle school quest fantasy that contains a strong cast especially the four Mt. Dora neighborhood recruits. The spiritual and mundane war hooks the reader from the moment they meet the prime four players (and learn the most intimate secrets of each of them). Young fans will enjoy trekking in Aeliana with the heroic trio who use biblical references of champions overcoming impossible odds to win the day while they battle to prevent Drake and his minion from turning the land into perpetual darkness.
