Part of the Trailblazer Books. Great missionary story for middle graders. Exciting enough to keep me glued to the book and had it read in one sitting.

The king of the Kru people wasn't his son back. He orders his soldiers to find him. Jova, a young boy has an advantage. He knows where Prince Kaboo is. He follows Kaboo foot steps and follows his all the way to Kentucky, Taylor University. THe prince is sick when he arrives. Does Jova bring the prince back? No he brings a real King! Jesus Christ!

My girls love this series and enjoyed this book. However, there were a couple of scenes that were harder to read in this book in terms of violence.
