The first of a three-book story arc about the American Revolution, The Redcoats Are Coming follows Patrick and Beth as they assist the revolutionaries by waking up the sleeping citizens of 1775 Concord before the Redcoats come. In this adventure, the cousins meet Paul Revere, Samuel Adams, and John Hancock.

Along the way they learn that most of the revolutionaries leaned on God's direction and even pastors helped in the cause.

British warships battle with American privateers in this high sea adventure. Cousins Patrick and Beth have landed on the Royal Louis in the middle of the Revolutionary War. Cannonballs fly and swords slash. They're captured! Now they face even more dangers. Will their new friend James Forten be sold by the British into the West Indies slave trade? Or will they all be sentenced to the overcrowded prison ship floating near shore where scores of prisoners die from filth and disease? Patrick and Beth help plan a daring escape as they witness firsthand the deeds of brave heroes who fought to make America the land of the free.

Cousins Patrick and Beth sneak through trenches and race across battlefields to warn General George Washington about a dangerous spy. The spy is stealing his secret plans and giving them to the British. Cannons roar and the ground shakes as the struggle reaches a climax. Washington's ragtag soldiers are up against the most powerful army in the world. Will Patrick and Beth witness the American Revolution come to an end? Or will they be caught in a dangerous trap they can't escape?
My family has enjoyed John Avery Whitaker in the Adventures in Odyssey radio shows for several years. Imagine my delight when I learned that Focus on the Family has expanded the tales of Mr. Whitaker in this new series, The Imagination Station! These highly enjoyable stories transport children back in history. If your child is unfamiliar with Adventures in Odyssey, you may want to begin with the first book in this series, as it explains the imagination station to readers.
The first book, Voyage with the Vikings, takes students to Greenland in the year 1000, where they meet Eric the Red. He is angry about the new God, and they have the opportunity to show him the peace of Christ. Please note, there are references to idol worship and animal sacrifice, in keeping with the culture of the time. In the second book of the series, Attack at the Arena, Patrick and Beth are transported to Ancient Rome. Beth is enslaved to the emperor and Patrick spends time with wise monk named Telemachus. They are reunited; however, it is in the infamous Roman arena. Through their adventures they learn that the greatest love of all is found in a man willing to lay down his life for his friend. Each book contains slightly larger font, making it easier for young readers. They also contain an Imagination Station puzzle at the back of the book. Black and White illustrations. Pb. 111-117 pgs. ~Deanne
