Vo Quang Thinh's 'Daniel Juventus' Sets To Become The Next Big Fantasy Series

DANANG, VIETNAM, 22nd April, 2024 – The literary world welcomes a new entrant with the English publication of "Daniel Juventus and the Stonehenge-Gate of Magic" by Vo Quang Thinh, who writes under the pseudonym J.A. Thinky. This novel marks the beginning of a seven-volume series that promises to enchant readers with its unique blend of magic and science, darkness and light. The narrative follows Daniel, a boy plagued by strange dreams and a challenging life, including being bullied at school and losing his parents at a young age. His adventures begin when one of his dreams transports him to a parallel world where he is tasked with rescuing the soul of EV, the king of the Kingdom of Light.

The book introduces readers to a captivating setting reminiscent of Hogwarts, where Daniel encounters historical figures like Leonardo da Vinci, Isaac Newton, and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart in an academy called Oldbenfors. These characters teach subjects that blend their expertise with magical elements, offering readers a fresh perspective on science and art. The story also features battles against wizardly evils and introduces a quirky character from the Grimm fairy tales, Rumpelstiltskin, adding layers of intrigue and suspense.

First published in Vietnam in 2018 by Winbooks Publishing House and Literature Publishing House, Vo Quang Thinh's journey to bring his work to an international audience mirrors the challenges faced by many authors. After completing the novel in Vietnamese, Thinh embarked on a quest to find an English translator, resulting in a collaboration with Nguyen Thanh Xuan and further refinement by professional English editors. Despite facing difficulties akin to those encountered by J.K. Rowling during the early days of the Harry Potter series, including setbacks due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Thinh's persistence paid off when Olympia Publishers in London decided to publish the English translation.

Olympia Publishers' decision to publish "Daniel Juventus and the Stonehenge-Gate of Magic" has been met with enthusiasm from both the author and the publishing house. Vo Quang Thinh expressed his gratitude towards Olympia Publishers for making his dream of publishing his book in England a reality. In response, Olympia Publishers affirmed their belief in the novel's potential for success and its ability to captivate readers across the UK, Europe, the US, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, and Taiwan.

This novel not only breathes new life into historical figures but also offers readers an imaginative journey through a world where magic and science coexist harmoniously. With its unique premise and engaging narrative, "Daniel Juventus and the Stonehenge-Gate of Magic" stands as a testament to Vo Quang Thinh's creativity and determination to share his vision with a global audience.
