I was first introduced to the new Imagination Station book series in April during my Birthday Bash. My 9yr. old daughter has loved these books! So when the next two books showed up in the mail, she couldn’t wait to start reading—and that’s saying something for this particular child of mine. 🙂
Book three in the Imagination Station series is Peril in the Palace. In this book, the Imagination machine takes cousins Beth and Patrick back to China during the reign of Kublai Khan. They meet up with Marco Polo and end up face to face with Kublai Kahn, who doesn’t appreciate their gifts nor their Christian message. The cousins are locked up with no way to escape. How will they ever find that golden tablet needed to help Albert?
Book 4 brings the cousins to 15th century England where they finally meet Albert—the person they are trying to rescue. Set during the War of the Roses in England, Revenge of the Red Knight will teach readers about the Crusades, the integrity of knights and the vows they took, and why men would choose to risk their lives to fight for Christianity.
The Imagination Station series is geared toward kids 7yrs. and up. The series features the virtual reality device called The Imagination Stations. Only Mr. Whittaker knows how this machine works, but by pushing a button, it launches users back in to time. Each book contains historical facts and Christian truths. The series is written by Paul McCusker and Marianne Hering.
One fun component of the books is solving the riddle at the end of the book. By solving, you get a secret code to add on the website which unlocks a freebie. These books are a great fit for children just getting into chapter books, make a good read-aloud for those a little younger, and are a nice supplement to history studies.

I would love to go to Ancient Rome or Greece. My son loves these books!
I asked my 10 yr old as he would be the recipient of the books (HE LOVES Adventures in Odyssey!) He wants to go back to Bethlehem when Jesus was born. He thinks it would be neat to experience Jesus birth at that time. Thanks so much for the opportunity to win and for sharing ! (mva dot gehrke at sbcglobal dot net)
My son would love these! I'm not sure where I would go, probably Jesus' time, just to see Him and understand more of how life was like then.
LOVE this giveaway! If I could go somewhere in the Imagination Station, I might go to 15th century Germany/Europe. It would be humbling to witness the Reformers at work and "thrilling" to see the intrigue involved against them! Thank you!

OO Good question.. I think the 1800's but only if had booku money.. and got to wear those pretty dresses….although I don't think that era bathed much.. So on that note I will go to the the Roaring 20's.. although on 3rd thought it would have been neat to see what the Apostle Paul was really like. 8-D Can I take a sampling from each year??

Hmmm…. this is a tough question because I always find eras I'd like to visit when I'm reading books or watching movies. First would probably be Regency era England. Like in Pride & Prejudice. I know real life was definitely not like that book but… I'd like to think that chivalry was still alive and well during that period. Things were much simpler then it seems. Or at least difficult in a simpler way if that makes sense.
Or medieval England. I've never understood why for that one, however. Again, I know real life is nothing like what you read in books or see in movies… but to see the landscapes and the castles.
I've always believed I was born in the wrong time period. LoL.
Great giveaway! I'm a new visitor to your blog!
I would love to go to a Tropical Island with a hammock and a cold drink for a day. I am sure thats the longest I could leave my kids.

I've been doing a "reading through the Bible" for my QT this year and I just finished reading about King Solomon building the Temple of the Lord. I sat there as I read and tried to imagine what it must have looked liked. So I think it would be so neat to travel back in time and see just how great this temple was and to also hear King Solomon's great wisdom.
The other thing would be to go back during Jesus' time.
Thanks for the chance to win.

Good question! I think I'd like to go back to ancient Greece, just to see what things were like. That time period has always interested me!

I would go to Ancient Egypt! I've always been fascinated by Egypt, married a guy who shares my fascination, and already my two oldest kids are on the same track-we're total history nerds! 🙂
