Theep and Thorpe: Adventures in Space: 1 (Adventures with Theep and Thorpe)

Theep and Thorpe is a fun, exciting read. Fourteen year old Jonathon has enough problems to deal with such as reform school on another planet, a bully, developing supernatural abilities, and alien visits. Can he handle the biggest challenge of all and pull off a daring rescue? The author weaved many elements including space travel, friendship, love, and how our thoughts have power, into the story and kept the reader entertained throughout. I enjoyed watching Jonathon mature, learn to accept his gifts, and find friends in unlikely places. I hope to read more about Jonathon and Hazel and the rest of the kids on Planet Staruus.

I loved this book. It is so interesting and clever, presenting a lot of information about life in a prison for juvenile delinquents in outer space. The development of these young characters provides a hopeful and inspiring lesson for all of us. Congratulations, Lillian Nader. You have written a very important book for young and old alike.

What an amazing original idea! I had such fun following the adventures of Theep and Thorpe as they are banished from Earth to the juvenile space camp for delinquents on another planet. The author, Lillian, has brought spirituality and space and laughter together to the delight of me, her audience. I am sure you will find the same delight as you follow their adventures. Targeted for the tweens, but such fun for this 67 year old! Congratulations on a winner!

Refreshingly different. Tailor made for the young adult market, good lessons without preaching. Strong characters. The light humor that somehow can be found in a juvenile prison colony is refreshing. Nice to have a little sci-fi without people - or other beings - being blasted to smithereens. Nice job, Lillian.

You might think this is a book for children, but you would be wrong. I spent a delighted 3 hours reading Theep and Thorp with a smile on my face the whole time. I could not wait to turn the page to find out what would happen next. It does teach children valuable lessons in teamwork, friendship and ethics. Buy one for your child and one for yourself, you will not regret it, trust me!!!
