- A new tween series from Zonderkidz aims to offer a positive alternative to the growing volume of dark supernatural offerings for young readers. The first four titles in “The Elijah Project” series release in May—On the Run, The Enemy Closes In, Trapped by Shadows and The Chamber of Lies. Geared for 9- to 12-year-olds, the books revolve around three siblings battling unseen dark forces.
-
- Author Bill Myers said “The Elijah Project” was a direct response to all the supernatural products influencing kids today. “Go to any secular bookstore and look at the alarming percentage of shelf space dedicated to these elements,” he said.

-
- “Our thinking is, if we can deal with such an obviously popular genre from a biblical base, then we not only (are) lighting a candle instead of cursing the darkness, but we’re turning the genre on its head to teach biblical truths.”
-
- On the Run has a $4.99 introductory price; the other three titles are $6.99 each. Read more in the April 6 issue of Christian Retailing
