The Poison Arrow Tree

I like The Poison Arrow Tree because it is very meaningful. It takes a lot of praying to heal someone who has been very sick. Because I am a Christian now I know how meaningful it is to pray. There is plenty of action and excitement. My favorite character in this book is Dean, the guy who is telling the story. To Shel Arensen: Thank you for writing these books. I really enjoy them and I can't wait until you publish more. Keep up the good work. God bless.

This book was great!! I read it to my kids and they wouldn't let me put it down. I had to keep on reading chapter after chapter! This a great kids book with some very good lessons that all kids should learn. I highly recomend this book and all the others by Shel Arensen.

It's good to see this book back in print. Our family really enjoyed the story about the Dorobo hunter in Kenya and the tree he uses to make arrow poison. The story also plays on an underlying fear of the spirit world in Africa. The fast-paced adventure kept our sons begging for one more chapter when we read the book as a family.

My kids and I have read and loved every one of Arensen's Rhino Tales. Since we live in Kenya at one of the locations in the poachers' story, my children feel like they were living a real life adventure everyday because Arensen, a published author, wrote stories about their home area.There's mystery, coming of age rites, fun trips, animal stories in these books. It's great serial reading for a class or youth group. You can read about Kenya, animals, kids who live in foriegn countries, and life principles.If you and your kids like adventure stories set in fun, far away places, you should read the Rhino Tales (all six of them). They make great bed time reading. But beware, you may not want to stop because the action never does.
