Switched!

I've been looking for some good Christian/positive fiction for kids after a friend asked for a recommendation for her boys. Honestly, I nearly didn't bother with this book on seeing the cover... though, as they say, you can't judge a book by its cover, and this one definitely fits the bill.

Once I got past the cover art and typography, the story was surprisingly good. It's apparently the fifth book in Bill Meyers' "TJ and the Time Stumblers" series. The kids in the story stumble from one crazy situation to the next, making for some funny events and dialogue. Most importantly, however, the author manages to weave valuable lessons into the story without making it too obvious or overbearing (not an easy task).

I'd recommend this book for kids up to 8 or 9 years old.

I received a copy of this book free of charge from Tyndale House Publishers in exchange for an honest review. I was not required to post a positive review; these opinions are my own.
