The Legend of the Craftsman King
A mysterious, famed sword. An ancient prophecy. And an inevitable battle.
Join the Noland kids in this intense, page-turning, Hardy Boys meets Journey to the Center of the Earth , faith-based mystery/adventure.
In search of their father, the Noland kids travel to Vietnam's famous Phang Nha cave system but find themselves in a whole new world vastly different from their own and on the brink of disaster.

About the author
Mike Curtis
5 books9 followersPastor and author Mike Curtis brings adventure to life in his new Noland Kids Adventure book series. Growing up in a sports-focused family that loved camping, exploring, and all things adventure, Mike dove into teen ministry in his early twenties to bring the Good News to a distracted and struggling generation.
He is married to the popular homeschooling author and speaker Meredith Curtis. They live in Lake Mary, Florida and have five children and five grandchildren. As a spiritual dad and pastor of Powerline Church, his passion is sharing life-giving principles from God’s Word that impact and transform others.
In his spare time he loves to watch adventure movies like The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit trilogies with his family and friends, and on occasion has been found sacrificing for those he loves by watching a Hallmark romance. He can also be found indulging in books on apologetics, theology, and leadership, in addition to some aggressive ping pong matches during discipleship time with young men. And next to a good steak, Mike’s favorite dish is beef tongue!
His desire is to use his books to mentor the next generation, sharing Christ and biblical principles of character in relevant and enjoyable adventure stories and practical studies.
