Voyage with the Vikings (AIO Imagination Station Books)


A children’s book designed for ages 7 and up reminds me of the Magic Tree House books but with a Christian theme.

Cousins, Patrick and Beth meet a mysterious inventor named Mr. Whittaker. Mr. Whittaker has sent the cousins on an adventure to find a Sunstone. The curious kids travel to the year 1000 and they meet none other than Erik the Red! Erik the Red is not happy about the new God and makes that clear to the cousins.

Patrick and Beth find themselves in situations that cannot seem possible. They arrived by the Imagination Station but where is it now? How will they find their way back? Trapped in Greenland, the kids come face to face with Erik the Red and new challenges arise. Can God help them?

The book is appropriate for grades 1-3 depending on the maturity of the child. The chapter book is easy and fun to read. The chapters are short and others a little bit longer. Just enough to take a break and jump right back in. The drawing illustrations give kids another peek at what’s happening in the story. I think this helps kids to connect with Patrick and Beth. It’s a clever way to interweave the story with how it relates to God.

Magic Tree House fans will love the Imagination Station book series.
