Endorsements (4)
“Journey to Joona is a delightful read! Any fan of The Chronicles of Narnia or Bridge to Terabithia will be excited about this trip to a magical kingdom. Journey to Joona will make a wonderful addition to any classroom reading list, it is full of rich ‘teachable moments.’ A great read that students and teachers alike can enjoy!”
“Kim Engelmann is a fabulous author who writes extremely helpful and practical books to work through the problems of life. Journey to Joona is a wonderful story of fantasy to help a child (or adult) work through sadness. Margaret is grieving her mother, and she meets a friend. I totally recommend these books.”
“As a Presbyterian Pastor, Kim portrays the essence of the Christian story to young readers using metaphor and fantasy. She subtly weaves themes from Scripture into the suspenseful but not scary storyline of this enchanting book. The reader will not only enjoy the journey but will also be buoyed up on Laurel’s wings of hope and encouraged in love.”
