Siblings Mitch, Tony, and Jovi discover that mysterious creatures called Grezniks are close to achieving their mission: blowing up Earth and shattering Life to bits. Over the centuries, Grezniks have nearly succeeded many times. But each time, their efforts have been foiled by Tukors and their allies. Now, Grezniks are closer than ever before, and no one knows if any Tukors are left in the world to stop them

The Tukor's Journey is an epic action adventure. Chock-full of faraway lands. Volcanoes. Mountains. Tundra. Tropical forests. Raging rivers. Steamy geysers. Farms. Big cities. Tractors flying at the speed of sound. Blue stones that defy the laws of physics. And lots of real life creatures. And Grezniks. Vicious. Deadly. Unfathomable strength and speed. Seeping through the world unseen--slippery, crawly, swift. Soon they'll be ready to blow up Earth into tiny pieces. Three kids are unexpectedly invited to help defeat the Grezniks, but will they have the courage to join the battle?

Editorial Reviews

“An adventure that’s sure to please many readers.” The Fox Magazine

“What a fun and adventurous book! Jeannine Kellogg’s imagination just flows through the page and brings Mitch, Tony, and Jovi to life with such vividness. Would recommend if you like book series like The Spiderwick Chronicles by Tony DiTerlizzi and Holly Black or Fablehaven by Brandon Mull.” Alex Lopez, Net Galley

“Jeannine Kellogg’s writing is captivating and it has a strong appeal for young as well as older readers...it was a delightful adventure…The reader can’t resist the characters, because they are well-developed, deeply human, and richly imagined. The prose exudes a finesse that is rare, evoking strong and interesting images. From the beginning, the author offers clear images to readers, a promise of what awaits them as they progress into the story…The characters are pulled into a strong conflict; it is interesting to watch they grow, learning as the conflict intensifies and learning to lean on each other’s strength. The Tukor's Journey is delightful, an exciting adventure and a tale with strong environmental themes. Highly recommended.” 5 stars, Readers’ Favorite

“An outstanding read, that takes you to actual places around the world and introduces you to rare animals, while you journey with three children and some scary mythological beings. The story twists and turns and you get absorbed in the journey. This a book that when you start reading is hard to put down until one has finished it.” Sylvia McGrath, Net Galley

“The author, Jeannine Kellogg, says, ‘We all have an important and powerful mission in life, no matter our circumstances. We are all storytellers as we author our life. We are all invited into a grand and guided adventure to bring Goodness to the world, to bring encouragement to others, and to battle Darkness. I love helping children to see their life as having a powerful mission.’ Kellogg truly reflects the above throughout her book, as she weaves a fun, adventurous story with lessons for everyone. It’s an enjoyable book that is well written and draws the reader in. Her descriptiveness is captivating to the point you feel you are part of the story. I even found myself gasping during moments of tension (which I don’t often do while reading a book).” Kelly’s Thoughts on Things
