The Secret of the Hidden Scrolls from WorthyKids, an imprint of Hachette Book Group
Hold on, you're about to take an adventure! We have been enjoying the next two titles - The Great Escape (Book #3) & Journey to Jericho (Book #4) in the The Secret of the Hidden Scrolls series from WorthyKids, an imprint of Hachette Book Group. You can read our review of books 1 & 2 here.
These fun stories are designed for your independent readers - ages 6-9. Or, let the entire family enjoy them together as a read aloud! The author, MJ Thomas wrote this time-traveling series to give his young son an introduction to the Bible that was fun, and biblically sound. Each book is around 100 pages in length, with fun black-and-white illustrations throughout. The perfect step-up for your new readers.
The stories take your child back-to-the-Bible. Each adventure begins with our adventurers, young Peter and Mary and their dog side-kick, Hank. Their Great-Uncle-Solomon, an archaeologist, who has magic scrolls, and an old house full of surprises, that take them traveling through time.
This story whisks our heroes straight back to Egypt. They encounter princesses, pharaohs and even panthers as they race against time to free the Israelites, and solve the puzzle of the scroll. It's full of fun action-packed scenes that make history come alive. The children encounter angels, magicians and must stand for the truth. They end their adventure at the shore of the Red Sea, where they see God's power on display.
The story takes Peter, Mary and Hank into a secret mission to Jericho. Great-Uncle-Solomon has a surprise and some special supplies for them. The kids must defeat the Man in Black, their enemy Satan, to solve the puzzle of the scroll. Along their journey the get help from Michael, the angel, and Rahab. As the walls come down, the children learn that God always keeps his promises.
Each book includes a short section in the back that lets your reader know where to find the actual stories in the Bible. It's a great way to introduce them to the real author of adventure, God.
I love how these books teach without preaching. The stories are fun and fast paced, my testers relate to the kids, and throughout they get introduced to God and his character. My testers are asking for more!
We would highly recommend the entire series!
