Guest Author: John Van Vloten
Come meet John Van Vloten, the author of The Unlikely Alchemist, a childrens' fiction novel.

Book Review. John Van Vloten’s The Unlikely Alchemist (Abbotsford, BC: Fresh Wind Press, 2011). 2008 pages. $19.95. Review by Brad Jersak

Nearly two decades in the works, John Van Vloten’s The Unlikely Alchemist has finally hit bookshelves. In short, this is a very well written piece of children’s fantasy literature. Readers who watch for quality work in the genre of Lewis’ The Lion, the Witch and Wardrobe should be delighted.

The Unlikely Alchemist includes some essentials in Christian fantasy literature—a self-consistent alternate world, the mysterious means of arriving there, a fellowship-style quest and of course, strong character development in the child antiheroes and their seemingly unbeatable nemesis.

Time: 1pm
Location: @ Elshaddai's 642 W. Broadway

Light refreshments and beverages will be served.
