The Rightful Heir

“Jefferson Knapp captures the adventurous nature of a child, as well as the wonder of the animal kingdom. The book will keep readers turning pages to find out what awaits Benjamin and his animal friends as they strive to protect their kingdom
. The Rightful Heir
is a wonderful follow-up to
The Brave Journey.
A great story for readers of any age.”

Julie Clements, Editor,
The El Dorado Times

“Jefferson Knapp has created a riveting continuation of the story of Benjamin Biggs and the animal kingdom with a wit and believability that will capture the mind of kids and adults alike. His ability to bring the story to life makes the thought of understanding the animals seem not so out of the realm of possibilities. I found myself not wanting to put the story down and can't wait for the next adventure in the series.”

Phil Douglas, BS, Aircraft Executive

“Change will come again in
THE KINGDOM AT THE END OF THE DRIVEWAY.
Many new voices will be added to the familiar ones we met in
The Brave Journey.
Page by page my interest is captivated as Mr. Knapp weaves a second tale of intrigue and adventure all just down the driveway. Even reluctant readers will pay rapt attention as they follow the story of
THE KINGDOM AT THE END OF THE DRIVEWAY.”

Lori Branine, Library Teacher,
Belle Plaine Elementary School

“This story has everything from suspenseful fear to being hysterically funny. I was on the edge of my seat and can't wait for more!”
