Joshua and the Lightning Road by Donna Galanti

Why does she have a change of heart? Is she still working with Poseidon? Queen Artimis, King Apollo and Poseidon were trying to form a revolution to stop the slavery and the children from being taken from earth but Queen Artimis changes and puts King Apollo in prison. Apollo had freed the kid slaves that were stolen from Earth by the child collectors and angered Zeus, who seems to be the main ruler who rules over smaller kingdoms. Not wanting to spoil anything for you, Joshua and Charlie have to go and save King Apollo who was kidnapped.

Wearing the belt of a friend of Joshua’s, Leandro, who he helped in the first adventure Ash quickly gains Joshua’s trust and she blasts both Joshua and Charlie to another world down the lightening rod. She has come for Joshua’s help to save King Apollo from Queen Artimis. It turns out Ash is a tree girl from another world, a world that Joshua visited in the first book.

They come across an older girl who’s staggering around her attire catches their attention. Joshua and Charlie are from Earth the story begins with them sledging down ice-covered slopes and hills racing each other in the middle of a snow storm. It’s a middle grade story, perfectly written for ages 8-12. However, after finishing the story I now want to read the first one and I’m looking forward to the third one, which I can only assume is being manifested as I type. This book drops enough snippets of Joshua’s previous adventure that you get the gist of what happened.

Even though I hadn’t read the first book I was happily surprised to find that it isn’t needed. I received this book free to read for a review for chapter by chapter book tours.Īfter only a couple of pages in, I realised that this book is a sequel. Joshua and the Arrow Realm – by Donna Galanti
