The Return of the Arinn by Frank P Ryan (The Three Powers)
The type of story the author tells is a difficult one for this modern age, not because it deals with current day themes, (although it does do this), but that the idea of 4 kids from Earth having adventures in another, ‘magical’ and more spiritual world sounds a little old fashioned.
