The Legend of Black Jack
The Legend of Black Jack | A. R. Witham
5 posts | 2 read
Thrilling fantasy adventure debut from Emmy-winner A. R. Witham. Jack Swift can tell you every element on the periodic table, recite Treasure Island verbatim, and would remember in perfect detail every word you'd ever say to him. He has been alone for a long time, so he has buried himself in books, using them to plan his escape. But no textbook could ever prepare him for the land of Keymark. At 3:33 a.m. on his fourteenth birthday, Jack is kidnapped by a hideous monster to another sphere of existence. Now there are two moons in the sky, and he is surrounded by grotesque creatures and magical warriors training for battle. They want the impossible: Jack must use his abilities to save a life or be trapped in this bizarre world with no chance of rescue. Jack doesn't have secret magic, a great destiny, or any experience. So why do they all expect him to become a legend? ___________ The Legend of Black Jack contains 20 full-page illustrations and has been described as classic portal fantasy, a standalone coming-of-age adventure, and a descriptive, wholesome, heartwarming story. It contains a smart, empathetic hero, lovable characters, loads of action, and a thrilling grand finale. On the book's cover, you will find a small keyhole. If you choose to unlock it you will find an adventure story for the young...and the young at heart. Welcome to Keymark-don't forget your map.

This July I participated in the Indie Accords Readathon. Here‘s my monthly wrap up …

I read/listened to 31 books. Slow reading month.

Here are 9 of my favorites.

No DNF‘s. None under 4⭐️. Two paperbacks & 29 audiobooks (most were whispersync‘d with my paperwhite).

Tagged is my favorite rbecause I could read it with my nephew but honestly they‘re all excellent for different reasons!!

❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️

1. The Book Eaters

2. Sure, Cage of Souls was pretty. I prefer Blue & Black.

Current audiobook! I received a review copy from the author. It‘s not my usual type of book but I‘ve just heard so much good about this book and the author is a really nice guy so I figured I‘d give it a try. Some people plan their TBRs, some people mood read. Lately I do FOMO reading a lot. 😂

🎧 4th Readathon book. Jack Swift‘s brilliant & in foster care when on his 14th birthday he‘s kidnapped by a monster & magically taken to another world.

It‘s a swashbuckling action adventure including pirates, knights, talking tams? A bunch of stuff that you won‘t want to miss!! Chapter 18 WOO, hold on cuz it‘s a thrill ride. All sorts of good & bad monsters.

An easy fun fantasy narrated by the author who must be a bard in real life.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Twainy It‘s rated teen/YA BUT … I liked Harry Potter … so 🤷🏼‍♀️ I‘m sure there was swearing & harrowing swashbuckling violence. So beware if you had this to a younger child. 2y
