The book "Daniel Juventus and Stonehenge - The Magic Gate" by author Vo Quang Thinh has just been published by Olympia Publishing House, a reputable publisher in London (England).
Publishing a book abroad, especially in a demanding literary market like the UK, is a huge challenge – but all those difficulties ultimately became fond memories when author Vo Quang Thinh's book was published by Olympia Publishing, a major publisher in London (UK). Daniel Juventus and Stonehenge – The Magic Gate revolves around the life of Daniel Juventus, a 13-year-old boy with a slight hand deformity, who is constantly teased and bullied by his classmates. His dreary childhood is haunting, as Daniel has never met his parents and his only relative is his grandfather, Anles, leaving a huge void in his heart. When Daniel begins to have strange dreams, Anles finally tells him the truth about his parents' disappearance. In a dream, Daniel is given a key of power - Ankh - and he is the Chosen One to free the soul of EV - King of the Kingdom of Light, who is imprisoned along with Dzărum - Lord of Darkness. 
One night, a strange woman appears in his bedroom and leads him to a parallel world , where Daniel believes his mission to rescue his parents and EV has finally begun. However, he is unaware that a dark force is constantly hindering his quest. This force is hunting Ankh because it can unlock the gates to Hell. Daniel's task is to protect and thwart the schemes of this growing dark force as they seek to control the good things in the world . "Daniel Juventus and Stonehenge - The Magic Gate" is the first volume in a series of fantasy literature by author Vo Quang Thinh, published in 2018 by Winbooks and the Literature Publishing House. Driven by a desire to fully integrate with contemporary literature, Vo Quang Thinh has traveled a long road to bring his book to readers in the UK and internationally. After completing the work in Vietnamese, the author spent many years searching for someone to translate it into English. The current translation was done by translator Nguyen Thanh Xuan and edited by professional British editors. Similar to the initial difficulties faced by J.K. Rowling, the author of Harry Potter , Vo Quang Thinh also struggled to find a publisher to "sponsor" his literary creation. At the end of 2019, he received a response email from a London publisher. This publisher was extremely pleased after reviewing Daniel Juventus and Stonehenge – The Magic Gate . They commented: “We recognize that you are a talented writer and your book is excellent.” 
The seemingly fortunate story, offering a promising future, was unexpectedly disrupted by the Covid-19 pandemic, which also presented significant challenges for the publisher. They asked the author to wait a year, but after a year, due to the dire economic situation during the pandemic, they were still unable to publish. Vo Quang Thinh continued his arduous journey to find another publisher. It seemed like an endless road for the author, but despite knowing the obstacles, he did not give up... In 2023, Olympia Publishing, a major London-based publisher, was very interested in the work. After a year of hard work with a dedicated production team, they completed all stages of cover design and printing. The book was finally published on March 28, 2024, with the English title " Daniel Juventus and the Stonehenge - Gate of Magic, " under the author's pen name JAThinky. It is now widely distributed worldwide, in most bookstores in the UK, Europe, the US, Australia, and New Zealand, as well as in Singapore and Taiwan. The author excitedly told Olympia Publishing that he thanked them for finally fulfilling his dream of publishing his book in the UK. Olympia Publishing responded enthusiastically: "We are delighted to have made your dream a reality with the release of 'Daniel Juventus and the Stonehenge - Gate of Magic,' and hope this will be the beginning of a successful journey."

“With a passion for fantastical literature and a desire to explore the great wonders of the world, the author spent a long time writing his first book about the boy Daniel Juventus and the wonders of Stonehenge. A world where the author lives with his dreams, passions, and loved ones. Daniel Juventus is not just a fantastic story; it also contains profound humanistic lessons. Lessons that seem simple, but in the hustle and bustle of modern life, people gradually forget them. That is precisely why the story of Daniel Juventus came into being…” - excerpt from the book introduction by Olympia Publishing House.Sao Khue - Vietnamnet.vn
