New Middle Grade Fantasy Novel for Review: Alexander Drake’s Extraordinary Pursuit by Elizabeth Parkinson-Bellows

Elizabeth Parkinson-Bellows will be touring in April with her Middle Grade fantasy novel, Alexander Drake’s Extraordinary Pursuit. Alexander Drake is not a typical “story book” hero.

At the same time, Alexander is a curious and wildly imaginative boy, who constantly craves adventure. Up to this point, Alexander led a very sheltered life. He was raised solely by his father, a reserved distinguished gentleman with a rarely
