You know we love to bless you sweet moms with giveaways and to share great resources with you….and today we get the opportunity to do both!
Tyndale House has offered to provide 3 books for today’s giveaway and I want to share a little about the latest book in the Adventure In Odyssey’s series, Imagination Station, entitled, The Hunt for the Devil’s Dragon.
I’ve always loved the resources from Adventures in Odyssey and I especially appreciate the variety of character lessons intentionally threaded through the fabric of each book. Their new book is no different.
Character lessons: Honesty, Courage, Taking a stand no matter what, dealing with bullies, helping others and forgiveness
It’s set in the 1,300’s and cousins, Patrick and Beth are in Libya in an obscure village called Silene where sheep have been mysteriously disappearing from the family farms. Insisting that they are being eaten by some devilish dragon, the towns people decide to begin offering human sacrifices to appease it in hopes that it will go away.
When Beth stepped in to help a friend, the people decided she would be the next sacrifice. But a Roman Soldier who had recently become a Christian stepped in to save her. He also wanted to help save the town from the dragon, but discovered it was a saber-tooth tiger that had been killing the sheep. Not the dragon in the cave who was guarding her baby.
It is written well, with short chapters, lots of adventure and lots of lessons to learn and puzzles at the end.
*As a mom, the only thing I would add is that the age range says 6 – 9. This is a book I would read to my kids when they were 8 – 12 because of the concept of human sacrifices and devilish dragons. But it’s definitely a great addition to Adventures In Odyssey’s Imagination Station series!
Now it’s time to start entering for your chance to win one of the 3 giveaways!
