Today on The Two Mikes we spoke again with Chad Stewart who is the author of the Britfield

Novels for young people.

Three have been published, with four more to come. There also will be seven movies, each of which will cover the story told in a specific volume. The first script is on the brink of completion. Mr. Stewart aims for a wide readership among middle-schoolers, and to date his novels have been received a great reception from those youngsters, as well as from their teachers and parents in the United States.

The novels focus on two young best friends, Tom and Sarah, both orphans. Both are twelve-years old in the first book, and, of course, they will gain one year of age in each subsequent book in the series. The novels follow Tom and Sarah after their escape from an oppressive orphanage and demonstrate how they learn the skills of self-reliance in threatening situations, as well as to learn the power and comfort to be found in friendship, family, loyalty, and courage.
