Imagine The Fall of Jericho ImagineSeries edition by Matt Koceich Children eBooks

Jake really didn’t want to go to summer camp, especially without his friend Danny. Meeting new people and trying to fit in really wasn’t his strong point. In fact, he hadn’t even known Danny very long. Danny was sick and Jake was going to camp whether he wanted to or not.

Jake found camp pretty much as he expected. Everyone already had friends they were hanging out with and didn’t seem to want to include him in their activities. Finally he wandered down to the lake and sat on a rock watching the sun glisten on the lake. The sun make him sleepy so he decided to lie on the grass and rest until time to go back to camp.

In an instant, or so it seemed, Jake was transported to a time long ago in a place called Jericho. No longer was he by the lake. Now he was smack dab in the middle of an adventure. From here the action throughout the story is fast paced. I literally couldn’t stop reading and I am an adult reading a kids book.

The first few pages of chapter 1 seemed to move very slowly. For that reason I am glad there was a short preface to the story that hinted of the adventure to come. The rest of the chapters kept up the fast pace to the point even a reluctant reader might find it hard to put the book down. Although this is a work of fiction, the Biblical account of Jericho is definitely presented.

I recommend this book for young boys and girls either to read for themselves or to have the book read to them. In my opinion the story will capture the interest of reluctant readers. I enjoyed reading this book.

Imagine The Fall of Jericho ImagineSeries edition by Matt Koceich Children eBooks Reviews

Jake Henry wakes from an outdoor nap and finds that, instead of being the odd boy out at a North Carolina summer camp, he is in 1400 b.c. Jericho. Quickly befriended by a local boy, Dair, and an old man named Levi, Jake is looking down from the walls of the city when the Israelites appear on the plains below for their first march around the city.

Knowing that on the seventh day the city will fall when the trumpets sound, Jake tracks his time in Jericho by putting a pebble into his pocket each day. As he counts down the days, the reader follows him on an adventure through the streets and into clutches of an evil man, Ka’nah, who rules Jericho’s streets and has imprisoned both Dair and Levi.

An exciting and interesting story that is a fun way for young readers to experience the biblical story with just enough left open for readers to begin anticipating the next Imagine adventure. Recommended for Intermediate grade readers, or for family read-alouds if the danger is not too frightening for younger children (peril and physical altercations, including Jake being threatened by a sword). This is the third book in the series and enjoyment will be enhanced if read in order.
