Thistledom, Volume I: "A Kingdom is Born"

Thistledom is a refreshing departure from much of the current juvenile fiction because it features real-life action, drama, and suspense without the violence, killing, and sorcery driven plots so prevalent in so many books and movies today. As Mr. LaCroix patiently introduces Nobby characters, troggs, and doogles and begins to spin the complex tale of their lives leading to the birth and development of the Kingdom of Thistledom, we discover the deep meaning hidden in an innocent phrase inscribed on an old pendant: “A Seed’s Power Lies In Its Promise.”

As action unfolds through generations, it is the power within us that is the source of the only real magic in life. Courage, honesty, confidence, self-esteem, trust and loyalty become the tools needed to turn inevitable challenges and tragedies of life into unlimited opportunities and incredible progress.

Presented by Saint Paul's Press, LLC, this is the first Childrens short story written by author John LaCroix.
