Quest for the King's Crown: A Last Chance Detectives Book Review

DISCLOSURE: I RECEIVED THIS COMPLIMENTARY PRODUCT THROUGH THE HOMESCHOOL REVIEW CREW.

One of the many gifts homeschooling has given my family is the love of reading so any new book is exciting in our house. The joy of discovering a new book that you turn out to love is only surpassed by also learning that it belongs to a series with at least 6 other books! As a chapter is closing in the Homeschool Review Crew and this being my final review for them, it is appropriate that it is a book review. My children have grown up with exciting adventures waiting for them in the mail every so often for reviews and Quest for the King's Crown from Focus on the Family closes out our time in the same fashion.

What We Received:

We received Quest for the King’s Crown, Book #7 in the Last Chance Detectives Book Series in a paperback form and a pdf file emailed to us. The book is 25 chapters long and 144 pages.

What It’s About:

The Last Chance Detectives series chronicles 4 kids, Mike, Winnie, Ben, and Spence and their adventures. In Quest for the King’s Crown they race to find an artifact that claims to be Jesus’ crown of thorns. Through some plot twists and people turning out to not be who they claim to be, the kids make their way through clues and signs of what is really going on. In past books, one of the kids had discovered the plane his father was known to have died flying and the end of this book proves to be an exciting cliff-hanger.

What We Thought:

My 9 year old daughter read this book and loved it! She loves adventures and mysteries, which Quest for the Crown is both. When I asked her all about it, she was especially excited to tell me how the thief, who you don’t know is the thief at first, disguised himself with prosthetic limbs making him appear much larger than he actually was. She thought that was hilarious! :) I asked her to compare it to other books she had read, it was clear that it definitely comes from a Biblical worldview and supports the Christian lifestyle in mentioning Bible studies, faith and of course historical events around Jesus. She immediately asked to have the other books in the series put on her Christmas wish list, so definitely daughter approved! After a recent visit this summer to Focus on the Family headquarters in Colorado and discovering several books they have available, I’ve grown very fond of so much of what they do and stand for. They have a large number of books and series that my kids are thriving on and I am so grateful for that. Praying they continue to be successful!
