”Mystery of the Round Rocks” a children’s book authored by David Volk and Mark Meierhenry and illustrated by Jason Folkerts recently received a national book award from the Independent Publisher organization.

The book, which is about the early geographical history of South Dakota, received the Bronze Medal in the category of ‘Best Regional Fiction for the Mid-West’.

Meierhenry and Volk said they were delighted with the award especially since it stresses “the early beginnings of South Dakota and the great contribution our forefathers gave to this state.”

The Independent Publisher’s contest drew over 3,175 entries from 49 states, 9 Canadian provinces and 16 countries.

Additionally, “Mystery of the Round Rocks” (www.sdkidsbooks.com) and David Volk’s other book “Draftee:   A High School Teacher Goes To War” (www.drafteegoestowar.com)  were recently featured at Augustana College’s Center for Western Studies, Dakota Conference.

Volk and Meierhenry’s second book “Mystery of the Tree Rings” will debut in August.   This book is about a 762 year-old tree located in the Black Hills.
