Ranger Nader & The Sunstruck Phantom (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781732890213)

Ranger's life as a typical 9th grader is upended when he discovers his extraordinary destiny: he is the newly appointed Guardian of the Forest and a demigod in training.

This revelation comes with the inheritance of a magical axe, a relic steeped in history and power. The very same axe was once wielded by the legendary demigod Gilgamesh-yes, the hero from the ancient epic-who used it to devastate Lebanon's sacred Cedar Forest, inadvertently triggering a catastrophic Great Flood.

As Ranger grapples with his newfound identity, he, along with his sister Milly and cousins Art and Kara, are thrust into an unexpected adventure. They find themselves in a clandestine spaceship school, learning to navigate the cosmos as part of the Phoenician Merchant Marine. But their training is cut short when Gilgamesh resurfaces.

The malevolent king, bent on finishing his destructive legacy, seeks to reclaim the axe and complete his diabolical mission: to fell every tree and flood the world anew. Ranger, with the support of Milly, Art, Kara, and the formidable power of the axe, must confront this looming threat.

In a race against time and destiny, Ranger's journey is more than a fight to save the world-it's a quest to protect the legacy of the forests and the balance of nature itself. Can Ranger and his allies thwart the king's sinister plans, or will the world be submerged under a new Great Flood? The fate of the earth hangs in the balance in this epic tale of power, legacy, and courage.

Ranger Nader & The Sunstruck Phantom has been honored with many awards, including a Gold Medal in the Global Book Awards and won its category at the International Book Awards.

"If Harry Potter were a Lebanese-American teen in the future, descended from Ancient Phoenicians, the plot for "Ranger Nader" would be the perfect blend of these stories." BookLifePrize.

"Five Stars! A superbly plotted magical adventure, stylishly and flamboyantly written." The Wishing Shelf.

Don't read another book where the kids got to school to become wizards; read one where they battle evil while training to crew a Guardian Ship, fight demi-gods, ALSO have magical powers, AND is based on local history and mythology.
