WorthyKids/Ideals (A BOOK REVIEW)

My son enjoyed reading the first 2 books in a new series, The Secret of the Hidden Scrolls from WorthyKids/Ideals, an adventure story that takes kids back to the bible times.

For a paperback book these are about average length for a child about ages 7-10, and a pretty easy read for a strong reader. There are some illustrations throughout the book as well making it a interesting for those children who like pictures. My son (4th grade) was able to read them both in just 2 hours, and he had a lot of interesting things to share with me. He also had some questions, so these books got him thinking about the actual events that these books are about. He has also asked if the next book is out yet, and has requested it already, so this says a lot about how much he enjoyed them. He's a pretty picky reader.

Since he is the one that read the books I asked him to help me with this review and tell me what the books are about and what his favorite part was. The following are his words.

Can you tell me what The Secret of the Hidden Scrolls: The Beginning (Book One) is about?

"In this book the scrolls take Peter and Mary back in time to the beginning of the creation of the earth. After, He creates the land, the plants, the light and darkness, he creates animals. They swim with dolphins, and they run into a bad snake who is Satan. He tries to stop them from figuring out the scroll. They only have 7 days to figure out what's on the scroll because it's written in a different language. When they say what's on the scroll it changes into the right words in their language. An angel helps them get out of fighting. Once they finish everything on the scroll they go back to their time."

Did you have a favorite part? When they ride the rhinoceros and the elephants.
Why is this your favorite part? I didn't know you could ride elephants or rhinoceroses.

Can you tell me what The Secret of the Hidden Scrolls: Race to the Ark (Book two) is about?

This story is the same thing with the scrolls, and they travel to Egypt this time during the time they were building the ark just before the flood. They run into Satan again, and they help build the ark. They also figure out the scroll with the help of the same angel as the first book. One of the rules is if they go past the 7 days to figure out the scroll, they stay in that time forever. They figured out the scrolls on the 7th day and made it back. They also have a dog named Hank that comes with them in both books. The dog also helps them sometimes because he leads them to certain places.

Did you have a favorite part? When the dog barked at Satan who is called the Dark Ruler.
Why is that your favorite part? because I like dogs

A quote he wants me to share:

The Legend of the hidden scrolls

The scrolls contain the truth you seek.

Break the seal.

Unroll the scroll.

And you will see the past unfold.

Amazing adventures are in store

for those who follow the lions roar.

 

My son really enjoyed these books. I think we'll definitely continue the series as they come out. If you'd like to see what other crew members had to say, you can click on this banner below.
