I really enjoyed this story that takes on bullying in the past and the present. I really liked Kai and look forward to seeing her in more stories. I enjoyed the part in the past that talks about the plagues that led to the Hebrews leaving Egypt. This is a wonderful story that many children will love. I received this book from Barbour for a fair and honest opinion that I gave of my own free will. In this second book about time travel and Biblical stories, Matt Koceich again intertwines the two to create an incredible adventure. “Imagine: The Ten Plagues” takes the reader back to Ancient Egypt during the time of Moses and the exodus of the Israelites, seen through the eyes of a young girl. Eleven-year-old Kai Wells is facing a bully in her Florida neighborhood when suddenly she finds herself transported thousands of years back in time. She befriends a resident and becomes involved in helping a child stay safe from the Pharaoh and his servants while witnessing the plagues visited upon the hardhearted Egyptians. “The Ten Plagues” was, in my opinion, a quicker and even more exciting read than its predecessor, “The Great Flood.” Koceich neatly creates characters to whom young readers can relate, while dealing with issues germane to what kids are facing today. This narrative focuses on bullying and standing up for what is right despite intense pressure, and yet it does not become preachy or superior. This is a great way for kids to learn a moral lesson in a fun and interesting way and to also introduce or reinforce major Biblical stories. I received a complimentary copy of this book from Barbour Publishing and was under no obligation to post a review. 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. Sense ressenyes | afegeix-hi una ressenya

It’s a unique take on time travel back to Biblical times and yes, there’s some liberties taken…it is fiction…but overall it’s staying close to the Bible. It made me go to my Bible and check the story out. It brings out the similarities between the bully that Kai is facing in current times, with Pharaoh.
I think young kids will enjoy the story, it’s fast paced and interesting. ( )
