Tricky Times
Even the most reluctant reader will be drawn into the adventures of Patrick Wigglesworth in this hilarious chapter-book-meets-graphic-novel.
Tricky Times picks up where the first Patrick Wigglesworth’s Bizarre Bible Adventure book, Over My Head, left off. Patrick is now in fifth grade and at a brand new school. He and his best friends are confronted by a new crop of cool kids. These kids have moved up from Silicon Valley, CA, and are threatening to do away with the Gasket way of life. Patrick, wading into politics for the first time, decides to run for student council president in order to thwart the school takeover. Things don’t turn out at all the way he planned in his fifth-grade political career.
The same is true for his Bizarre Bible Adventure (BBA for short) which takes him through the Bible books from Joshua through Job. The newly appointed leader of the Israelites, Joshua, serves as Patrick’s tour guide and shows him that taking the Promised Land is just as messy as Patrick’s life!

Special thanks to Goodreads and Tyndale Publishers for this copy of Bizarre Bible Adventure. This is the second in the series and a cute graphic novel. It intersperses Patrick's day-to-day experiences with those from Joshua to Job. As PAtrick goes through the Bible experiences with his guides, the Bible references are listed. As a parent, this would be one I would want to read with my child to get the habit of reading the passages in the Bible and then relating it, like Patrick, to personal experiences. This is a great way to get to know the Old Testament in an easy format and be able to put action with stories.

Ridiculous indoctrination of children. Encourages kids to keep secrets from parents, and that is the perfect way to a!low a preacher to sexually abuse your child. Would not allow my kid near this book.

So pleased I have discovered this series! My grandsons really enjoyed it and I love the way it applies the Bible to modern day.

Another fun one in this series. I’m actually kinda surprised that everything worked out well in his favor at the end though lol.
