Our Thoughts:
Addie (age 7) and I both read this book. Addie thought it was a fun story and liked how the dog, Hank, helped Peter and Mary. As a mom, I loved that this book was teaching a Bible story from a new and interesting perspective. It's so fun to think about how these amazing Bible stories we all know really impacted the people that lived during that time. This book very creatively investigates that idea.
I would highly recommend this book, and the whole series, to children ages 7-9 that are ready for a bit of a challenge. You can read more about The Secret of the Hidden Scrolls here.
