The Empty Throne – Synopsis
Two houses connected by a driveway have just suffered the mysterious kidnapping of their children! With no answers available, despair fills the air in the kingdom and the Biggs’s home. Hope, however, remains in Persly’s Woods as Benjamin and his group of animal friends are back together for the first time since the incident in Farangis’s barn. Are they prepared to confront the monstrous presence that has been hiding from the very beginning? The time has come for the final adventure to save Haverhill and rid the evil once and for all. The past must meet up with the present in order to answer all the unsolved mysteries left behind from the J.Q. Lazarus Traveling Carnival. And if the friends succeed, is the kingdom ready for The Empty Throne?

“Twelve years and two months from when I started writing THE BRAVE JOURNEY, I wrote the last line of the sixth and final book, THE EMPTY THRONE.
Jefferson Knapp
It’s hard to say goodbye to these ‘friends’ I’ve had in my head for so many years. They allowed me to use them for a career I never imagined I could have and to share them with kids from all over the USA. They’ve brought so many smiles to children who never liked to read. Even scared a few along the way, too!
This series has unfolded a BIG story. The Empty Throne ties it all together, and the little things that your eyes may have passed by will now have meaning.
Though this series is over, just like that…
New stories are already running through my head, seeking the pen and page”.
Reviews
“The students and teachers thoroughly enjoyed his stories and adventures of his childhood. One of our favorite parts of his presentation was his replica of the snake, Farangis. Jefferson is a great motivational speaker and storyteller. He kept the students excited about his books and encouraged them to read. The kids couldn’t wait to read his books after his presentation.”
Cathy Gilbreth, Media Specialist, Mountain Pine Elementary, Mountain Pine, Arkansas.
Kids find it hard to believe that Jefferson was just an ordinary schoolboy. His school presentations have inspired children to feel they can grow up and succeed.
“If I told you this book was full of action and mystery with talking animals, you’d probably laugh. “The Hardy Boys meets Narnia. Ultimately, my best comparison would be Charlotte’s Web on steroids—creative, unique, memory-evoking steroids.” …about the first book, Brave Journey.
