And so is THE JERICHO RIVER.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDavid Tollen’s young adult fantasy takes you on a wild ride across the ancient world, the Middle Ages, and much more -- weaving real history and myth into an amazing adventure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Jericho River flows through a magical world shaped by myth and history. Young Jason Gallo sails the river on a dangerous quest to rescue his father. He battles minotaurs and pirates, flees barbarians, stumbles into mummies' tombs, and outwits philosophers, fairies, and scientists.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eJason's journey, however, is more than an adventure story. It's an expedition into history. The river flows like a timeline, carrying the young man through past lands -- Sumer, the pharaohs' Egypt, classical Greece, medieval Europe, and more -- winding its way through the ancient Middle East and Western Civilization. Professor Gallo, Jason's father, is a historian, and his notes outline the journey, revealing the truth about Cleopatra, King Arthur, and the fall of the Roman Empire. He explains how a French lawyer's son became king of Sweden, as well as the origins of coffee, the cat, chivalry, the Atlantis myth, and much more.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWill Jason find his father in time to rescue his crumbling family?\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ANT","offers":[{"title":"Ebook","offer_id":54230973612395,"sku":"YSL26262","price":3.59,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0978\/1674\/0203\/files\/81_3ZY3xzZL._SY1500.jpg?v=1792833454","url":"https:\/\/www.booktavero.com\/products\/b07cnklz4w","provider":"BookTavero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
