Peril in the Palace by Marianne Hering and Paul McCusker



Peril in the Palace, book three in The Imagination Sation series, is an exciting read for ages seven and up. Beth and Patrick hop into the Imagination Station and end up in China in 1271. They have been sent there to find the golden tablet of Kublai Khan. Along the way, they meet the famous travelor Marco Polo and get kidnapped by Mongol warriors!

I love this series because it's like a Christian version of The Magic Tree House. It's just as exciting, full of historical facts, and it includes the town of Odyssey and Whit's End! The artwork is also wonderful. I loved Beth and Patrick's newest adventure. They are challenged by the Kublai Khan, who asks, "Why doesn't the Christian God destroy your enemies?" and they face the yellow lamas who have tricks up their sleeves, instead of magic. I think kids will love this new book!

I received a complimentary copy of this book for review purposes from Tyndale House. I was not required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own.
