Wow, how exciting!!! As part of The Homeschool Crew, we were given a copy of The Missing Link: Found, By Christina and Felice Gerwitz. This is a mother/daughter team from Media Angels. Christina was a 12 year old homeschool student when she sat down to write this exciting adventure story, with some assistance from her mother.
We started reading this book as a read aloud for our whole family. I wanted to hear the story, as well as have them hear it as well. However, getting reading time in with all them was difficult. So we began to read on our own. I thoroughly enjoyed this book!! And I am so glad that my chidlren were reading it on their own as well.
My teenaged son, who *hates* reading has been loving this story. He could not get enough of it. The story is full of suspense, action, adventure, and with the 2 main characters being Christian Homeschooled kids, it was easy for my kids to relate to.
There are several things that I loved about this story. 1st, it is set around a Christian Homeschool family. What really touched my heart, throughout the story, was everytime there was a crisis or a struggle, this family, always turned to the Lord in prayer. Exactly what we would want our children to remember. This story did a great job at modeling that. Futhermore, they prayed around people who were not believers, showing a very strong faith.
Next, there was some awesome dialogue on Creation vs. Evolution. There were many many facts included. Both sides were presented fairly. They also include in the back of the book a glossary of terms. Which was very helpful for some of my readers! And on the last page, were Creation Science Resources. It was an aawesome way to reinforce learning, while reading something so entertaining!
And the last thing would be that there are 2 more books in the series! Yahoo! That means my kids will be able to continue to follow the adventures of the Murphy family!
I don't want to give away any of the story! But I will include one little blurb that Media Angels included on the back of the book:
"In the Truth Seekers Mystery Series, you'll experience adventure, mystery, heart stopping suspense, and faith played out first-hand by the Murphy family. This action adventure mystery will keep you guessing to the very end!"
