Red Rock Mysteries

My 11 yr. old daughter found a wonderful book series by accident at the library this past spring. She has spent the summer reading the series. As soon as she finishes a book, we have to get to the library right away to get the next book in the series because she can't wait to read what happens next.

Red Rock Mysteries is written by Jerry B. Jenkins (writer of the Left Behind Series) and Chris Fabry and is published by Tyndale Kids.

The series is about a boy named Bryce and his twin sister Ashley who live in Colorado. They are very investigative and are always trying to solve a mystery which keeps the young reader gripped and always wanting to read on. They are also Christians who share their faith with others and talk about their walk in Christ.

I have found this series to be such a blessing in reinforcing my daughters own faith. It's been amazing sometimes that in real life we'll be learning about an issue, such as wisdom, and then she reads in the book that the character of Ashley is praying for wisdom. She'll scream out in delight as if it's a connecting point for her. She'll have to stop reading and come over and show me what it says. She's so excited that Ashley is dealing with the same things she might be dealing with and she's gaining a deeper understanding of these issues and how to handle them in real life through a vehicle of entertainment - reading a book.

I like the books as much as she does and often read them out loud to her. We snuggle up on the couch and take turns reading. A great way to spend a raining day!
