about the books

The Epic adventure begins with the two-book prequel series: The Amazing Tales of Max & Liz, where the Maker begins building his team of animals to be his envoys through pivotal points of history. Max, Liz, Kate and Al launch the adventure in The Ark, and are joined by their British mouse friend, Nigel, in The Dreamer.

With book three, The Prophet, the Shepherd, & the Star, the team of seven animals is finally complete, and known forevermore as the Order of the Seven. Working behind the scenes in the lives of Noah, Joseph, Isaiah, Daniel, those in the Christmas story, Jesus, the Disciples, Paul and the early church, the team will pass through Biblical and world history up to modern times with Patrick Henry and the Revolutionary War, and C.S. Lewis and World War II.

Why we like it…

Epic Order of the Seven books are nice and beefy for hungry young chapter readers (middle grade through YA) and packed with diverse characters for fun read-aloud accents! Kids enjoy the time-travel aspect of the series while parents appreciate the sprinkling of foreign languages and Christian faith throughout history.

The stories are action-packed and full of humorous banter and comradery. This series has been a huge hit with the kids’ friends as well. If your family enjoys Narnia, definitely take this series for a spin!
