Love it!

Love this Christian series. My kids have read all of the books. Can't wait for the next one to come out!

[Leah Wead · Rating 5 out of 5]

Have really enjoyed this series! Keep finding myself searching the events it mentioned online to learn more about them. The books are continuous so it would be hard to jump into the middle of the series, but the cliffhangers at the end of each one are so fun!

This was my son’s favorite of the whole series so far. Rating is mine, though! Thankful for these books.

[Wintermote · Rating 4 out of 5]

Good introduction to historical people of faith. A bit confusing since I haven’t read the ones before this—and leaves you hanging.

Turtle is re-reading series: great! Return to library.

This book had a lot of action, but a bad ending.
