“I wish my children were small again so I could read this book to them. They’d sit on my lap, rapt and fascinated, asking questions about Mika, who would become their dear friend and brother. There would be times when I’d stop reading. Anxious to continue the story, they’d look up at me to see water standing in my eyes at some beautiful thought, and at the growing sense that the conclusion of the narrative would coalesce with one of our favorite holiday songs and the greatest story ever told. Adel isn’t just a skilled storyteller; she’s a story maker, weaving culture, history, and biblical truth together seamlessly into a work of art. You and your family will be entertained and enriched as you follow Mika through his childhood adventure from a village in the Middle East to a caravan, and finally to the side of the newborn Christ.”
Jennifer Jill Schwirzer, Psychotherapist and author
"If you enjoy a beautifully written story rich in detail and vivid storytelling, this book is for you. It follows a young drummer boy who unexpectedly joins a caravan led by the wise men in their search for the newborn King. To his amazement, their journey is not in pursuit of treasure, ancient scrolls or an enchanted river, but of a child—the promised King.
"Filled with wonder, suspense, and heartfelt moments, this story inspires readers through the eyes of a boy who reminds us that no one is ever too young to learn, to believe, or to seek the Savior. A compelling and uplifting read for both young readers and the young at heart."
Dr. Fernando Ortiz, Andrews Seminary Mdiv Program Director
Description / Mika's Song: A Drummer Boy's Gift for a King
Beneath the Glow of a Blazing Star, a Boy’s Hidden Song Awakens
In the quiet village of Asu, beneath the rugged Zagros Mountains, young Mika lives a simple life. He finds comfort in small things: his father’s steady voice, the warmth of their hearth, and the soft rhythm of his little dap drum–his one true treasure. Yet he never feels like he belongs—not among the bigger boys who mocked him, nor the men who seemed to have been born brave. Everything changes the night a strange star blazes across the western sky. The village stirs, whispered fears rise, and Mika’s life is swept into motion.
Drawn into a mysterious caravan, he journeys with intriguing companions, the enigmatic Magus Ghasaan, the mischievous boy Jashin, and wanderers whose eyes hold secrets. Across scorching deserts, bustling kingdoms, and moonlit nights, the relentless star pulls them toward the promised Child–king.
As danger closes in and mysteries deepen, Mika feels something awakening within—a quiet, powerful rhythm, a pulse of courage, a call, a destiny—even in the midst of his fear. As the journey grows darker, one question rises like a whispered note on the night wind, soft as a heartbeat, steady as his drum—What is the song guiding Mika through the journey into the unknown?
