Will Wilder: The Relic of Perilous Falls

By: Raymond Arroyo

Narrated by: Raymond Arroyo

Fans of Rick Riordan’s Percy Jackson and the Olympians and Peter Lerangis’s Seven Wonders series will embrace this epic adventure in a rollicking new series by a New York Times bestselling author.

Will Wilder didn’t mean to unlock his otherworldly gift. But that is exactly what happens when Will “borrows” a sacred relic believed to protect the town of Perilous Falls for nearly a century. Even though his intentions are good, the impulsive twelve-year-old unwittingly awakens an ancient evil endangering all of Perilous Falls.

As boats sink and hideous creatures crawl from the rising waters, it is up to Will to confront a nightmarish enemy and set things right before it is too late. Along with his sweet—if lethal—great-aunt Lucille, the curator of a museum of supernatural artifacts, Will proves that the actions of one twelve-year-old boy can change the world.

The Best True Catholic Book for kid!

He did a great job on this book! Raymond Arroyo has a amazing gift of description. Big thumbs up! Good book for the family! We first look listened to it in the the car. That made all the long car rides something to look forward to. Then, as a family, we talk about it. But the book is intense in some spots so keep the readers a little older. The youngest was about 9 years old, that is a good age range! Overall, it is a fantastic book! Get it, SOON!

Enjoyed completely
