Attack at the Arena by Marianne Hering and Paul McCusker


Attack at the Arena picks up where Voyage with the Vikings left off. Cousins Patrick and Beth now have to retrieve a Roman monk's missing silver cup from Rome before the new moon. The Imagination Station takes them on a new adventure that includes barely escaping being eaten by a tiger, wearing weird Roman costumes, and getting caught by soldiers. They also learn how dangerous it was for Christians back then - they could be killed just for sport!

I liked this book a lot. It is a quick and easy read for younger children (ages 7 and up/Grade Level 2.3) and it reminds me a lot of Magic Tree house, except with Christian principles. The story was exciting and I think it would definitely appeal to kids. I loved the artwork! So cute! It is also a great historical read and a great question starter for young kids about suffering for your faith like the apostles and Paul did.

Tyndale House Publishers has provided me with a complimentary copy of this book.
