This is recommended family- friendly reading.

This title represents the first work in Brook's "Asquinn Twins"
series. The Asquinn Twins (Marty and Martha), along with their
older brother Kenny leave their familiar home in Wales, England to
come to Ontario, Canada. The motivation for this journey is a
calling by God who leads their father (Obadiah Asquinn) to a strange
new land in North America. Obadiah is to set up a mission and
evangelize the gospel to the inhabitants of the James Bay Frontier
in Northern Ontario. As the children grow and prosper, they find
themselves in the midst of spiritual warfare. On the one side you
have Kenny and the twins along with their friend Matty. On the
other side you have Kurt and his brother Malcolm. While Kenny and
the twins do their best to obey their parents and serve the Lord,
Kurt and Malcolm are entrenched in witchcraft and satanic ritual.
The stage is set for a classic clash between good and evil as the
battle is fought for the souls who live in Forest Lake.
Though surrounded by extraordinary circumstances, I found the
characters to be quiet real. This story includes the elements of
drama, action, and suspense. Once I began to read this book I found
it almost impossible to put it down. One note of interest is the
fact that this story is based on actual events. Grace Brooks has
dedicated this series to the Ontario Provincial Police.
This book can also be used as a tool for witnessing to people. In
one sequence, Kenny leads Matty to Jesus using many scriptural
references from the book of Romans. The message of God's grace
being accessible by faith is emphasized. For this reason I feel
that this book would be palatable to Evangelical Christians
regardless of denominational affiliation or their stances on certain
issues of Biblical doctrine.Therefore I recommend "The Asquinn Twins Come to The James Bay Frontier
those who are seeking quality Christian literature. Unlike other
stories of the same genre, there is no ambiguity as to who the "good
guys" are. Missionaries and Police departments are portrayed in a
positive manner. I found this work to be refreshing and rewarding
at the same time. This book would make a fine addition to any
bookshelf.
