Book Thoughts: The Secret of the Hidden Scrolls: The Beginning (Thomas)

• 1st of 9 in early chapter book series
• 2 siblings are charged with a quest, transported back to days of Creation
• clean language
• mild suspense
• good alternative to Magic Tree House

Type: beginner chapter book
Ages: 5-9
Author: M.J. Thomas

I’d say the only thing that bugged me was the boy sibling is quite a complainer–BUT this noticeably lessens in subsequent books.

The other thing that might cause some eye-rolling is how the author clearly copycatted Magic Tree House in a couple regards. It wasn’t a big deal to us, though. Nice to find a clean and pretty short book for Grades 1-3!

We listened to the first three, but have also checked some out from the library. The physical books have several illustrations.
