The Secret of the Hidden Scrolls ~ Books 5 & 6 (A REVIEW)

We have enjoyed reading these WorthyKids Books at bedtime, The Secret of the Hidden Scrolls: The Shepherd's Stone (Book 5), and The Secret of the Hidden Scrolls: The Lion's Roar (Book 6). They are just the right combination of adventure, lessons in character, and Bible stories all in one. We have reviewed the first four books previously, and my 8-year-old has continued to love all of this series including these two new ones.

The Secret of the Hidden Scrolls books 5 & 6.

We received physical soft-cover copies of these books. They are a nice size for children's books (about the size of most chapter books in height and width), and about 120 pages each. This can be a pretty easy read for an older child. When my older son was still interested in reading these (10-year-old) He read through one in a day. It takes my 8-year-old a little longer because we read it aloud together. The chapters are a good length that we don't feel like it's too long to get to the next one, so a reading session is usually a chapter or two and takes about 15 minutes.

What are these books about?

Each book in the series has its own new bible story where two kids, Peter and Mary, are staying with their Great Uncle Solomon who is an archaeologist with a lot of old artifacts around his house. Uncle Solomon tells the children of all his adventures including the Legend of the Hidden Scrolls. These Scrolls would allow the children to travel back in time to Bible times, and there they would learn and discover more about their favorite bible stories than they had ever known before by living through the story and interacting with the people and events of the time. These books can be read in order or they can be read independently.

Enter to win the whole series here:

 The secret of the Hidden Scrolls: The Shepherd's Stone (Book 5):

In Book 5 Peter and Mary and their dog Hank travel back in time to meet David from the story of David and Goliath. They get a little glimpse of David and his story, and they get to travel with David to the battlefront to visit his brothers where they get to battle the familiar enemy. They have to solve the Secret of the Hidden Scroll before the time is up or they'll be stuck forever.

The Secret of the Hidden Scrolls: The Lion's Roar (Book 6):

In Book 6 Peter, Mary, and their dog Hank travel back in time to Babylon into the story of Daniel and the lion's den. They meet Daniel and learn of the evil plot to get rid of him, helping him all along the way, and solving the secrets on the scroll before time runs out.

I love these kinds of books. The ones where kids travel back in time to an important time in history and learn great lessons from the people or places they visit. They are full of adventure and give kids a little glimpse of what things might have happened at that time. These books would be a great addition to any kids' library.
