LONGWOOD, FL-One day, an invisible portal opens, and suddenly the River kids of Diamond Bar discover the entrance to a parallel world of hidden beings-being who are no longer content to live and let live. But are they friends or foes? When young Crystal River disappears one Halloween day, her brother and sister can no longer ignore their invisible neighbors. Joshua and Silver River enter a race to save their family from unthinkable doom at the hands of an ancient, evil ruler known as Svang. Will the Rivers discover their strategies and secret arsenal of weapons available to win Crystal's release? Or will their invisible enemy destroy their family, their destiny, and their ability to remember who they were born to be? In Tammy Hilt Rivera's Under Diamond Bar: Journey into the Invisible (paperback, 978-1-60477-066-7; hardcover, 978-1-60477-067-4), your eyes will be opened to the endless possibilities around and within you that you've never seen before.
Says Rivera, "I hope readers will be stirred up to discover and use the gifts and abilities God has put in them, and to develop a fresh interest in exploring His Word. When I was young, I loved to write. I kept a diary, wrote poetry and started writing a book at a young age. But I never believed in myself enough to finish it. When I drew closer to the Lord again as an adult, by reading his Word, he reminded me that my talent was a gift he meant me to use."
With the end of the Harry Potter series, Christian parents will rejoice to know a new series, The Diamond Bar Episodes, is being launched to displace the fascination with the dark side of the supernatural. By drawing kids to the light, Rivera hopes ̉this generation of young people [will] know the joy of discovering and using their spiritual and natural abilities while they're still young!"
