The Orphan King by Sigmund Brouwer is a book of inspiration and encouragement telling everyone that as long as you have a plan and some good friends anything is posable. Set in northern England in 1312, a young boy named Thomas plans to fulfill his destiny and become king of the dreaded city Magnus. Said to deliver them on the wings of an angel Thomas sets out to save a knight who has done no wrong, and ends up with a few unexpected companions. As he and his new found friends travel to conquer Magnus problems arise. When they finally reach the city they enter and a few days later they are thrown in jail. Now Thomas must break out of jail and conquer Magnus all in a day. Many people stand in his way. Will Thomas ever take his rightful place as king of Magnus? I would recommend this book to all ages 3rd grade and up. The only reason I don’t suggest this book for ages below that is because it has some large words in it, and there is some violence. I received this book for free from WaterBrook Multnomah Publishing Group for this review.
