The Exciting New Book in "The Promise" Series: Discovering Their Gifts.

"The tale has a timely environmental message made more exciting by the theme of developing special powers." --Kirkus Reviews

Have you ever wondered what it would be like if you were an ado­lecent boy or girl and you were given the incredible gift of invisibility? And suppose you could heal animals and people but you couldn't tell anyone? In this second book of The Promise series, two ordinary brothers, Peter and David Wilson, from a rural town in New England, and eventually a beautiful young girl from Brazil, are given these gifts and more. But special gifts often require extraordinary sacrifice. No one-friends, school mates, even Mom and Dad-can know of these remarkable abilities. For if they do, their gifts will vanish in an instant.

Is the cost of this secrecy too high? Can they juggle everyday life with their newfound talents? Travel with these special youngsters and learn from their mysterious mentors in a fantastic adventure as they use their amazing powers to help save the beleaguered earth.

Book One - The Promise: A Perilous Journey.

A branch of a crashing tree pierces the ground and leaves a hole to a void below. This is all it takes for brothers Peter and David Wilson to explore the unknown-a cavern hidden from the world for millennia. The boys' dreams, persistence, and determination will solve many riddles, but their carelessness may be their ending. The adventure to meet the man called Eli is perilous indeed, but the gihs they are offered may be the opportunity of a lifetime.
