I read both books during our family reading time & finished them very quickly because the kids couldn't wait to see what happened next. I really like the historical facts and the Christian worldview of this series and my girls loved the time travel, adventure, and mystery. It is good to have books that offer so much for younger kids without a lot of detailed violence to fill their young minds. We enjoyed these so much we went out and bought book #1 & 2.
Peril in the Palace takes cousins Patrick and Beth to China in 1271 where they must find the golden tablet of Kublai Khan. Marco Polo becomes their friend after they were kidnapped by Mongol warriors. Kublai Khan does not accept their gifts or their message of Christianity. When war breaks out they are locked up to prevent their escape. The book contains historical conversations between Kublai Khan, Marco Polo, and his father and uncle. The kids are then transported through time in the Imagination Station to England in 1420.

Revenge of the Red Knight takes place in England in 1450. Patrick and Beth witness a jousting match and come into trouble in Lord Darkthorn's castle. The servants accuse them of stealing the treasures they are trying to return and they must decide who is a friend or a traitor as Beth uncovers the true thief.

I'd go back to the early 1900's. It would be interesting to see the advent of "modern" inventions like the car, electric lights, etc.

It's very hard to pick which time or era I would go back to. I'd love the late 1800's early 1900's; the time of the Renaissance, the Baroque time period. I love history!

The early 1900's would be nice to visit.
How about Egypt? Could I go there?

I would love to travel back to when Jesus was preaching and have dinner with Him - not to ask questions just to learn from the Messiah.
