Get ready for the Ancient Quest




The Ancient Quest is here. A few years ago, I wanted to find a novel that my students could read that would be entertaining, exciting, but yet still teach them about the ancient worlds we study. I could not find such book, so I decided to write my own. I created Johnny Rawten, who is the main character in my books. In book 1, called "Johnny Rawten," he is a 6th grader who discovers that he has the ability to time travel to the ancient world. Throughout 6th grade, he has amazing adventures. At the end of 6th grade, he is faced with a choice: time travel again or go to the spring dance with his girlfriend. He chooses the dance, which he regrets immediately for he lost he chance at another adventure. Johnny spends the next 5 years desperately searching for another time warp portal. No matter how hard he tries, he can not find another time warp portal to go back to the ancient world, that is, however, until he is presented with, the Ancient Quest....

My ancient world is Ancient IChian and my topic is the Great Wall Of China. The Chinese worked in teh Great Wall of China for over 1,700 years! The first emperor wanted a better barricade to protect the people from the Mongol invaders to the north. He wanteda strong 30 feet wide by 50 feet high wall.

I'm really interested in how the squires become knights in the medieval times ancient world. the age 15 a page becomes a squire whatever a page is?! Then each squire is assigned a knight. And once they prove them selves in battle there knight will say there ready. To me that sounds pretty cool!!
