This post is our honest review of a product that we received for free. All opinions expressed are solely mine.
Finding fun ways to learn about history can make such a difference in helping children remember different stories from the past. We recently studied the life of Saint Patrick in our history studies, so Challenge on the Hill of Fire was a great addition to our reading time with the kids.
From the Publishers: Kidnapped by Celtic Druids in 433, Patrick and Beth are headed to certain death when followers of a former Irish Slave (Saint Patrick, called Patritius in this book) save them. The cousins find themselves in the midst of a power struggle between Ireland’s King Logaire, Patritius, and the leader of the Druids, Lochru. A spiritual showdown begins on the Hill of Slane when Patritius builds a fire, challenging the King’s authority. Will Patritius prove to the king that the God of the Bible is the true God? Or will the king take sides with the Druids? The Emerald Isle holds many tales and legends, but this story of truth and standing strong for God is not one to be missed.
About the Series
The Imagination Station series, published by Tyndale House, is a historical fiction book set for children ages 7 and up. The chapter book series follows cousins Beth and Patrick as they travel through time and visit different points in history. Each book also shows the historical period from a Biblical perspective ~ and in a fun and exciting way for children.
Parents and children can also visit TheImaginationStation.com to find out secret words, family devotionals, parent guides and more that tie in with each of the books in the series. The website also lists what is true or exaggerated for each of the books along with additional links to characters in the stories.
The Imagination Station books are available for purchase through Amazon and are reasonably priced at $4.99/each {they are also frequently part of the 4-for-3 promotion}. We have the entire series and they are great readers for Zachary. They are books that we will continue to add to our library as they are released – and enjoy as a read aloud {unless someone sneaks a book off!}.

We enjoyed Challenge on the Hill of Fire as much as the other nine books in the series and are always excited to see when a new book is released! Our family highly recommends this series!
I seriously think we have about 40 sets of AIO in our house somewhere……
we LOVE the cds from AIO – and listen to them over and over!! :)
This is an exciting giveaway. It’s my first time hearing about these books. My daughters seems to be turning into a book lover like myself and that makes my heart smile. I love that I’m learning about all these great books now so I can slowly start adding them to our library and once she is reading on her own we will have them.
I didn’t know there were AIO books! The girls love the audios.
I’ve never heard of this series but I am excited! I wish they would have had these when I was younger! I would like to read voyage of the Viking first :)
This is the first I’ve heard about this series and it sounds great! All the books look good, but I think my 7 yr old would like Showdown with the Shepherd. Thanks for sharing and I hope I win!!!
Problems in Plymouth would fit perfectly with our history! Thanks for offering these. I have never heard of them before this.
We have all of them but this one and LOVE them! I’ve never done the audios but would love to!
I think Problems in Plymouth looks great!
Showdown with the Shepherd looks fun!
Escape to the Hiding Place
We just got the first 6 books for our boys (1st & 2nd grade) and they are loving them. The first books my older son is actually excited to read.
I want to get them all for my kids. Of course starting with book #1 :)
our books have their own special shelf now – our kids love them! :)
We have the first 7 and have read 3 so far. I’m excited to read Secret of the Prince’s Tomb but trying to wait and read them in order. :)
Escape to the Hiding Place. They all look intriguing.
My son has read a couple of the books and they are the first chapter books he really enjoys. He would really like to red about Patrick and Beth’s adventures in the the Battle for Cannibal Island.
We love these books!
I would like to start with book #1
I would also start with book 1…my son loves this series!
