Leavitt Peak Press Announces the Release of “Chamorro” — A Bold and Uplifting Adventure by Kent Johnson Olsen

Leavitt Peak Press is proud to present “Chamorro,” the latest novel by acclaimed LDS author Kent Johnson Olsen. Blending high-stakes adventure, heartfelt values, and revolutionary themes, “Chamorro” is a thrilling and wholesome story written especially for readers aged 9 and up, boys, girls, and families alike.

Set in the wake of a powerful typhoon, “Chamorro” follows the crew of the good ship DOUBTFUL as they are driven into an unfamiliar harbor, where they extend aid to the suffering and honor the fallen. Among the crew is young Raymond Cole, who soon finds himself captivated by the island’s beauty, rich Chamorro customs, and unexpected dangers beneath the surface, both literal and emotional.

An accident plunges Raymond and his crewmates into a mysterious subterranean world where they face terrifying giant birds, ancient challenges, and the ultimate test of courage, faith, and leadership. As they fight to survive and find their way back to the sunlit world, Raymond also discovers something more: Lyra, a light in the darkness.

“Chamorro is about more than survival, it’s about character, faith, and rising above fear to do what’s right,” says Olsen. “Young readers will cheer, laugh, and maybe even see themselves in Raymond and his crew.”

This inspiring story is perfect for fans of Narnia, The Book of Mormon adventures, and family-centered literature that balances action, humor, and spiritual reflection.

“Chamorro” is now available in paperback and eBook formats through major retailers, including Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and independent bookstores.
