Emmet and Nomi stumble upon an ancient artifact after being chased down by a bully, and find themselves experiencing the Bible in an exciting new way!
An exciting new book for middle grade readers that follows siblings Emmet and Nomi as they work their way through their quest, unlocking Biblical truths along the way.
As a church librarian I am always on the hunt for new books for that middle-grade age group that express Scriptural truth and teach solid lessons of faith, while being adventurous and engaging, and I think that this book checks all the boxes. It is a well written read with well realized characters and a does an excellent job of pulling out main themes of the Bible in a way that younger readers can more easily understand.
Overall, this is a fantastic book for middle grade readers. I loved how Nomi and Emmet grow throughout their adventures as they get to experience the Bible seeing the truths of Scripture come alive before their eyes, I also liked that this book doesn't take the expected angle with well known stories like Adam and Eve, the Exodus, David and Goliath, and the Resurrection, etc. but helps the reader understand what it might have been like to be living during those times the sorrow and excitement entering the stories in an unexpected place. Definitely recommend this wonderful read!
I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
