The Second Release in an Epic Bible Adventure Series for Kids The last thing fourth-grader Kai Wells remembers (before the world as she knew it disappeared) is being surrounded by bullies on her walk home from school. What happens next can't be explained as Kai finds herself on the run for her life in ancient Egypt Imagine. . .The Ten Plagues is the second release in an exciting, brand-new epic adventure series for kids ages 8 to 12 written by schoolteacher Matt Koceich. The Imagine series brings the Bible to life for today's kids as they ponder what it would be like to live through a monumental biblical event. Don't miss Book 1 in the Imagine Series--Imagine...The Great Flood
Imagine..........The Ten Plagues Starts off with a brouhaha and then it moves on to an even bigger one from there. It takes you to mysterious adventures - a great big adventure - a great big adventure that I wish I could have seen for myself. Mr. Koceich really knows how to weave a fantastic yarn - a deep yarn. He makes the familiar characters come even more to life. Characters from The Bible woven with fictitious characters from today. The story is so very special and enjoyable - I cannot wait for his next book. His last book was so out of bounds I didn't know if this book would be able to be as good as the last ones but let me tell you this book was even better. It knows how to weave Biblical stories with everyday life - what a faintastic job. I really hope that I can do Justice to this book. I hope I have the privilege to be able to blog his next book - they are that good. I hope you have the chance to read them as well. I received a copy of this book from the Publisher and Netgalley; all of the opinions expressed in this review are all my own.

This book is written for a preteen. I felt like my own interpretations of the Ten PLagues was changed, by reading this book. One plague is the oldest child (son) would die from each of the Egyptian families, living in that area, along the Nile. I had always assumed (?) that the children that would die would be babies, but the author describes it another way. I have since adapted my own interpretations.
The author jumps right in on the first page, so you are immediately interested and want to keep reading. There was a minor discrepancy, when all of the animals died, but I think it was possibly left in, for dramatic flair. I don't think that maybe a preteen would even notice the discrepancy.
I highly recommend.
I received a complementary copy from Barbour Publishing. I was not required to submit a review.
