Move over Harry Potter! G P Taylor launches children's adventure books

|PIC1|Authentic Media have released a paperback edition of The First Escape, the first title in The DoppleGanger Chronicles, an exciting six book series with Christian themes by bestselling author G P Taylor.

The book combines text, full page illustrations, word art, graphics and manga comic strip to tell its exciting adventure story.

The First Escape (ISBN 9781860247743, price £7.99, paperback) introduces Isambard Dunstan’s School for Wayward Children where fourteen-year-old identical twins Sadie and Saskia Dopple and their friend, Erik Morrissey live.

A normal day goes horribly wrong when a mysterious woman appears at the school and adopts Saskia … without her sister. On her own in a mansion full of dark secrets, Saskia stumbles upon a life-threatening conspiracy.

Meanwhile, desperate to find Saskia, Sadie and Erik escape from the orphanage with enemies in hot pursuit. Faced with perils beyond their imaginations, the trio must decide who to trust and what to believe.

Taylor is best-known for Shadowmancer, a fantasy novel for children which reached the top spot on the New York Times bestseller list in 2004 and has been translated into forty-eight languages.

A former Anglican minister, Taylor says, "My spiritual desire for children is that by the end of The DoppleGanger Chronicles they will have come to know about a God who loves them, cares for them and wants to have an individual and personal relationship with each of them."
