New Genre of Catholic Literature LaunchedSURPRISE, ARIZ. — Rafka Press LLC announces it is now taking online orders for Volume 1 of the Spencer Family Mystery series. Volume 1 is titled Bank Robbery! The book is a quality hardcover that pre-teens, teenage readers, and adults will equally enjoy. Spencer Family Mysteries is similar in style to the original Hardy Boys series. The main characters are two older teenage boys. The Spencer series combines the action and mystery of the Hardy Boys with the deductive psychology of G.K. Chesterton’s Father Brown. There are currently not many Catholic children’s mystery stories, and certainly no works of fiction that combine children’s action-mystery literature with Catholic priest-sleuth literature. Thus, Spencer Family Mysteries is an entirely new type of literature. The Catholic children’s mystery story genre is hereby launched! The major differences between Hardy Boys and Spencer Family Mysteries are the boys’ relationships with adults and the boys’ lack of sufficient maturity to tackle every problem that comes their way. The character’s familial relationships are emphasized as well. Spencer Family Mysteries is also similar to the excellent Father Brown series by G.K. Chesterton. The priest-character is similar to Fr. Brown, only a bit more paternalistic. Admittedly, certain younger children will not understand Father Spencer’s reasoning, but that will not detract from the overall plot. Of course, unlike Father Brown, there will never be a suicide or actual murder in the Spencer series. There is some violence in Bank Robbery! when the boys stumble upon a ring of criminals and get into a scuffle. But this is a Catholic book meant for children to read – there is nothing grisly in it. Rafka Press is a new Catholic publisher that will focus on new and reprinted educational, fictional, and documentary Catholic books. The company is named after St. Rafka, a holy Lebanese nun canonized in 2001. Rafka Press has the best return policy in the world of Catholic publishing: customers can return any item purchased from the publisher for any reason for a full refund. The company is committed to satisfied customers and risk-free purchases. Bank Robbery! is available directly from the publisher’s web site for $13.95 plus shipping.
