on Vikings... VIKINGS!
Read this as part of the Tyndale Summer Reading program and because my son (9), who has a summer reading challenge of his own, checked it out of the library. It's a bit below his reading level (and, for an adult shouldn't take more than about an hour to fully digest), but there are some nice moments of adventure, intrigue, and action.
Essentially, the Imagination Station is a time machine and our two main characters are kids, so the book is a bit reminiscent of a Magic Tree House book minus the wizards and sorcery. In this "episode," our travelers journey back to the days of Leif Erikson and his vikings. They learn about religious persecution, forgiveness, and God's love, while playing chess, dodging reindeer, and avoiding polar bears. Pretty fun book and, like I said, a quick read for your summer reading fix.
Another quick read and enjoyable story for younger readers and fans of Magic Tree House or Secrets of Droon books who are looking for (or at least don't mind) a Christian twist.

If you like Magic Tree House, read these...
These stories take two cousins, a boy and a girl, on adventures in an "imagination station" to different times and places. The pattern of the stories is similar to the Magic Tree House. In this story, the cousins take refuge a church making a connection to faith.
We read the one based in Plimoth Plantation first. We really enjoyed it, but found we needed some of the background from the first book. We purchased the first 4 books as a bundled package, so it was a bargain.
These are easy to read. According to the reading level on the book, it would be for a 2nd grader. My child is an average 3rd grade reader and knows most words on every page.
