Nightmares in Paradise (Ring of Solomon #2)
Reading Level: 6th − 7th Grade
Series: Ring of Solomon

Zach Darlington saved the world and hardly anyone knows about it. Aside from his best friend, Sandra; his annoying little sister, Naomi; and his friend Ash (who, by the way, is the King of Demons).

Somehow, they've all managed to keep last summer's fights against the Behemoth, the Leviathan, and the evil Knights of Apocalypse cult a secret for almost a whole year. Zach and Sandra have their hands full practicing with the archangel Uriel's flaming sword (in case they ever need to fight monsters again), dodging bully Jeffrey and his sidekicks at school, and doing typical seventh-grade things like homework and watching their favorite horror movies.

But when Naomi starts blabbing their secrets--and then disappears during their family's Passover seder--Zach's parents are worried and mad. At Zach! Since the sword went missing along with Naomi, Ash is sure that Uriel is to blame. Which means that Zach, Sandra, and Ash are off to Eden--the actual Garden of Eden--to save Naomi and bring her home. The Garden is no paradise. It's full of scary angels, monsters, and tricksters ready to lay traps, not to mention the Knights of Apocalypse, who still hold a grudge against Zach for interfering with their apocalypse plans last summer.

Can Zach make it through the overgrown, dangerous Garden to save his sister and bring her home? And will he still be grounded for life if he does? No one said being a seventh-grade hero was going to be easy.

Review quotes

Praise for Ring of Solomon:

"Jam-packed with action and humor, Ring of Solomon is a rip-roaring good read. Buoyed by the fast pace and excitement of this Jewish mythology-inspired adventure, I plowed right through until there was no more left. I already miss Zach and the endearing cast of characters. Please, I need more!" —Graci Kim, author of The Last Fallen Star

"This exploration of a boy's self is full of fun, humor, and Jewish mythology that I never knew could be so cool." —Rex Ogle, author of Free Lunch and The Supernatural Society

"A fun, wildly imaginative, and wholly original tale that will keep you on the edge of your seat and grinning until the last page!" - Greg Howard, author of The Whispers and The Visitors

"Readers will only want to dive deeper into Ash and Zach's story and the world they inhabit—it's a good thing this is the opener to a planned trilogy."  -Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books, starred review
