It's always a challenge finding good, quality adventure-type stories for kids (I have 2 nieces and a godson I often babysit for), so I was really pleasantly surprised when I stumbled on The White Palace. Jodi Welch (along with Jim Long) bring us the tale of three adventurous children who happen upon an enchanted map which magically lead them into a world of adventure. The writing is excellent, and the story feels like a cross between the Harry Potter stories and the Chronicles of Narnia to me. It was a hit with my brother's kids, too--We're hooked!
