The Second Release in an Epic Bible Adventure Series for Kids
The last thing fourth-grader Kai Wells remembers (before the world as she knew it disappeared) is being surrounded by bullies on her walk home from school. What happens next can't be explained as Kai finds herself on the run for her life in ancient Egypt! Imagine. . .The Ten Plagues is the second release in an exciting, brand-new epic adventure series for kids ages 8 to 12 written by schoolteacher Matt Koceich. The Imagine series brings the Bible to life for today's kids as they ponder what it would be like to live through a monumental biblical event.
Available on Amazon
My Take:
As the title indicates, this book is a trip back in time to Egypt and the ten plagues. Personally, I enjoyed the introduction, in which, Kai, who is being bullied by a girl from school, after getting punched, wakes up in Egypt. There isn't much background as to why she ends up there, such as maybe they are studying this in Sunday School or something... But its interesting none the less. Kai is befriended by an Egyptian, who helps her get away from one of the Egyptian soldiers. Since Kai is no stranger to bullies, she becomes quite upset when she later sees the Egyptian soldier bullying the girl, and does what she can to help her.
Kai recognizes Moses and Aaron at the Nile River when they turn the water into blood. She also goes back and forth between the Egyptian land and the Israelite land noticing that the plagues are not the same in both places. I assume since the book is geared towards younger children, the plagues happen rather quickly to keep it short. The author takes plenty of liberties with the story, so I wouldn't say it is completely accurate (Biblically or historically). Reading this book prior to your child, may give you a chance to ask questions and see what they think, and maybe encourage them to read the true account from God's Word.
I received a complimentary copy of this book courtesy of Barbour. I was not required to review. All opinions are my own.
