Gulliver Wimple and the Gems of Dara Mh?r (Gary D. Bower)

Gulliver Wimple and the Gems of Dara Mhór

Christian fantasy for ages 10 and older that will definitely appeal to fans of Tolkien, C. S. Lewis, and Rowling.

Gulliver Wimple feels like a beetle in a chicken coop. Haunted by his name and taunted by his peers, the sophomore bench warmer is a walking target at Hoefield High. Things spiral from miserable to perilous when he is pulled through a portal and meets Dar, a peculiar little girl who leads him on a quest through strange waters and dark passageways swarming with cruel and sinister Beguilers.

The future of everyone Gull cares about is at stake as he must distinguish between the voices of Wisdom and Folly, avoid savage predators, and learn to wield the game-changing power of The Gems of Dara Mhór. 

This fantasy tale of friendship, courage, treachery, and redemption explores vast chambers of treasure (the Book of Proverbs) and delves into the deep crevices of the human heart. The voices that echo in Gull’s head ultimately force him to decide: “Which voice should I listen to?” 

Endorsements

As avid fantasy readers, my wife and I thoroughly enjoyed Gulliver Wimple and The Gems of Dara Mhór. Gary Bower does a wonderful job of character development, and his captivating storytelling style and imagery make this book a fun read that is hard to put down. His humor consistently brings heartfelt laughter and a sense of believability to all of his characters. As a pastor who has studied the book of Proverbs, it is very clear to me that the author has a very deep understanding of Proverbs. I highly recommend this book!
