I was recently asked to do
a book review of 
The Imagination Station book series from 
Adventures in Odyssey. 
This is the first time I have ever read one of their books.
I gave the books to my 10 year old
to read since I knew they right up her alley.
She LOVED them both!
(from the back of the book)
“Mr. Whittaker, a kind but mysterious inventor, has sent cousins Patrick and Beth to Greenland through the Imagination Station. It’s the year 1000, and they meet Viking Erik the Red, who is angry about the new God. Mr. Whittaker wants the cousins to find a Sunstone, but what does one look like? And what does it have to do with the mysterious letter found in the inventor’s workshop? Most important, can Patrick and Beth find a Sunstone before Erik’s son Leif sails away with the Imagination Station on board his ship?”

(again from back of book)

“Cousins Patrick and Beth are off on their second Imagination Station adventure. Mr. Whittaker’s mysterious invention takes them to ancient Rome where they must find a special silver cup. Near the city gate, the cousins are separated when Beth is enslaved to the emperor and Patrick meets a wise monk named Telemachus. All three end up in the famous Roman arena. Telemachus wants to share an important message with the emperor. Beth wants to know how to get the cup. And Patrick just wants to escape with his life!”
What I love about the books is that each book
is about a different historical 
time and place. 
Also, the books help children to learn
new things and have great 
positive reinforcement behind them.
All while my child just thinks she is reading for "fun".
Ha I tricked her.
Buy It!
