About this audiobook
The Young Heroics... A Brave New Middle Grade Series
Book 1
KNIGHTS OF THE EMPIRE is filled with bits of survival and wilderness skills, wrapped up in an exciting story of brotherhood and loyalty. William Hudson and Jefferson Boone Junior are from opposite kinds of families, with no brothers of their own. That is until they discover an old survival guide written by a real-life hero that nobody believes in anymore. Up until then, they thought loyalty was just something left over from the days of kings. Or some kind of game strategy. How can anybody take that kind of stuff seriously? Nobody else seems to. But all that is before they come face-to-face with legends, and ghost towns, and being stranded in a desert rippling with hundred-degree heat. And no roads. Things like that can change you.
WARNING: Some things in this book are catching.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Holy Crud!! Run, Duck, Everybody's Crazy but ME!!What a fun, exciting book Knights of the Empire is! I personally hope my nephew reads this one!! Two thirteen year old boys,"Boone" and "Hudson," set off on a week of desert living with Boone's half-crazy "Grampy." From snakes, spiders, bears, and desert heat, danger abounds. Plus the boys are charged with keeping Grampy present when the visiting nurse comes around. Everyone in town knows old Jackson Boone is crazy-he just shot off his toe trying to ward off the last visiting census taker-but Boone and Hudson are about to find out just HOW crazy. They swim in a forbidden lake, travel through an old abandoned mine, visit an old abandoned village and more.How do you know this will be a great book? Legends of a fat, rich priest; singing bones luring people to their deaths;a "Mad Maude." The book has to be good when you read about The Code, loyalty, honor, hidden gold, the end of the world. Not to mention "Holy Crud!" being a common refrain, and colorful phrases like "my brains would probably fall out my nostrils." My fave? "I did a quick look around for our dead bodies lying around somewhere,and after I didn't see any, I started to wonder if going crazy was catching."Two quotes to share:"Heroes collect heroes. They multiply.""And just because Grampy was going crazy didn't mean I couldn't still learn from him. Because he still had it in him...Whatever he grabbed hold of deep down inside himself when he needed to face something hard, made him stronger every time he used some of it...that had to be the only explanation for why he kept looking younger, instead of old and broken down like when I first met him. It was the hero stuff showing through."Rating:PG. Grampy has a mouth on him.All in all, a very fun, laugh one minute, gasp the next,book. Book One of the Young Heroics.I was grateful to have been gifted a copy of this book by bookfun.org. in exchange for my honest opinion.
