History isn't names and dates -- it's an adventure. And so is THE JERICHO RIVER.

David 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.

The 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.

Jason'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.

Will Jason find his father in time to rescue his crumbling family? Show less
