Kirkland author, Luis J. Salazar’s latest children’s book, Chin and the Magic Stones, was recently listed on publisher iUniverse.com’s bestseller list. The book is described as “the perfect gift for 7-11 years young readers.”

The story in the book takes place at Carillon Point.

Book description from Amazon.com:

Ten-year-old Chin loves to dream about having grand adventures. But nothing much ever happens in the sleepy little city of Kirkland, Washington, so Chin usually ends up playing with his loyal dog, Eagle, and reading thrilling stories. But one afternoon, both their lives change forever.

While helping his father out in the yard, Chin discovers a shiny rock near the garden pond, and he picks it up. Once he does, Eagle begins to talk! At that moment he realizes that the stone holds magical powers. But why is it in his yard?

Chin and Eagle discover an underground world right underneath his small town! The two become warriors in a revolution against an evil fantastical being known as the Shadow Lord. Along with the help of their new friends and mystical artifacts, Chin and Eagle navigate their way through the mysterious and dangerous new world where adventure waits around every corner!

Full of excitement and enchantment, Chin and the Magic Stones is a delightful tale about a young boy who uses the power of positive thinking to embark upon the journey of a lifetime!
