Return of the Cave Lion by Phyllis Wheeler is an exciting time-travel adventure that follows two young Guardians of Time, Jake and Ava, along with their four-year-old cousin DeeDee. When the group discovers a unique cat in their neighborhood, they initially think little of it. DeeDee becomes fond of the cat, naming it Bailey, and insists on keeping it. However, Jake and Ava soon learn from their Guardians of Time Guild mentor, Paracelsus, that the creature they have is from another time and must be returned to its timeline. They discover that their enemy, Martin, has opened holes in space-time, allowing ancient animals to escape into their world. Join the Guardians of Time on their adventure as they encounter a slave named Saccut and face dangers from hostile villagers and an evil king, all while learning valuable lessons about leadership, bravery, and the importance of trusting the power of the Guiding Hand.
Return of the Cave Lion is the fourth book in the Guardians of Time series by Phyllis Wheeler. Although part of a series, it can be enjoyed as a standalone. The story is faith-based, teaching children vital lessons about trusting in God’s divine protection and guidance. It also features an amazing plot twist that elevates the narrative to a compelling and memorable adventure, along with hilarious moments involving DeeDee and her endless antics. In contrast, Jake has moments of deep reflection as he contemplates leadership and decision-making. These elements balance the story, making it an engaging read. Wheeler skillfully combines history, fantasy, and science fiction, creating a vivid tale filled with suspense, humor, and heart. The illustrations depict various characters and significant moments in the story. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and look forward to exploring more from this series, as it offers a perfect blend of entertainment, spiritual lessons, and memorable moments that will resonate with readers of all ages.
