We have had the pleasure of reviewing books from The Secret of the Hidden Scrolls series two times before and each time the kids adore them! WorthyKids Books has brought joy to our house again with the next two installments, Secret of the Hidden Scrolls: The Shepherd's Stone (Book 5) and Secret of the Hidden Scrolls: The Lion's Roar (Book 6). If your elementary students have never read any of these books, today is the day to start! As Christian parents, we want Bible stories to come alive to our kids, but ancient words on a page sometimes get stuck in translation. Each book magically transports Peter and Mary to Biblical times where they race against the clock to solve secrets of the scrolls before they are stuck back in time! They kids get to spy on events like Noah's ark and the battle at Jericho, bringing a kid's eye view to some of the most fantastical events in our history.
What We Received:
We received the next two books in the series. Both are paperback and over 100 pages and at least 12 chapters. There are great black and white illustrations at least every 3 or 4 pages.
The Shepherd's Stone takes the kids to David as a shepherd boy and a pack of wolves, they witness the kingdom of Israel and it's enemies the Philistines. The kids get the chance to hear about David's faith and where his strength comes from!
In The Lion's Roar, they travel to Babylon where they meet Shadrach and hear about he and his friends' trial by fire years ago. Then they are introduced to Daniel and the trouble he's having with the high priest. As the children hide from the high priest with some help from a local friend, Hannah, they witness Daniel's commitment to God and punishment to the lion's den.

Who Is It For?
The reading levels of each book is around 2nd grade. My 8 year old races through each book in a day because he is voracious reader, but also because he loves a good adventure book. They are simple enough for 6 year old to read and enjoyable enough for 3rd grader to beg for. As the author continues to add books, I'm certain my son will want to read them despite their ease simply because he's invested now.
What the Kids Thought:
It goes without saying that my 6 and 8 year old enjoy reading these books. When I asked them why, I was told it was because it had to do with the Bible. They really seemed to connect with these familiar Bible stories presented from a different eye view. It certainly helped that the series reminded them of certain other book series about a brother and sister that go on adventures to different times.
What Mom Thought:
In addition to the Biblical reinforcement, the books make a point to label Satan and his forces within each story and then highlights how the children deal with that. It's been a good exercise for my kids to wrestle with how they deal with Satan's temptations in their own life. So much more than a fun book!
