Running Through A Dark Place

“From the moment I opened Michael Bowler’s Running Through a Dark Place, I didn’t want to stop reading. Give in to the urge, as I did, to read Bowler’s compelling story of modern-day King Arthur and his youthful Knights of the Round Table, as they crusade for justice. And I strongly suggest you keep paper and pen, as well as fortifying snacks and drinks, close by your side. You are going to need them.”

“Confession of the day: As I devoured Running Through a Dark Place, the second book in Michael Bowler’s compelling Children of the Knight Series, I will admit that it crossed my mind more than once, I sure wish I wrote this. While negotiating the unpredictable twists and turns of the multifaceted plot, I experienced a wild ride, from which I disembarked quite enlightened. Author Michael Bowler juggles multiple themes in his modern-day King Arthur tale— among them vital messages of persistence, forgiveness, and the importance of communication—with skill and artistry. Yes, I wish I wrote this.”

“I felt as if I was reading a motion picture—the story’s compelling action reeled through my head as if projected on the big screen. Michael Bowler’s continuing modern-day story of the youthful Knights of the Round Table and their noble leader, King Arthur, Running Through a Dark Place, is truly one of the great ones. A work of exhilarating fantasy, packaged as convincing reality, Bowler persists with his message of change and choices for children.”

“WOW, what a roller coaster ride Michael sent me on with this second installment of his Children of the Knight series. I was crying with sadness, then spell-cast, then crying with happiness.”

“I am not sure I can remember reading a book that tugged my heart strings in this way. Up, down, backwards, forwards, in, out, over here, over there...simultaneously…and TIGHTLY! I started Running Through a Dark Place and could not put it down. My emotions ran rampant, crying regularly, lying awake angry at one character or another, mostly just trying to internalize a story that consumes you from word one. I was mesmerized with Michael J. Bowler’s second novel of children who are trying to take over the world.” - Jay
