As you’ve probably noticed from my weekly goal posts, we’ve been reading Quest for Truth: Taken together over the past few months. It’s a thick book and it’s a little above Kathrynne’s level, but she really got into it — as did our whole family. 🙂
Brock Eastman, co-author of one our family’s favorite Imagination Station books, found out we love the Imagination Station books so he asked if he could send us one of his other books. And I’m so glad he did!
From the moment I picked up Taken, I was pretty sure it was going to be a book Kathrynne would enjoy. Boy, was I right!
The characters are fascinating, especially if you love mystery, science fiction, and high-tech gadgets. The storyline is fast-paced and packed with adventure and cliff-hangers. (Kathrynne was on the edge of her seat while I was reading aloud. She kept begging for “Just another chapter, please!”)
If your family is looking for a family-friendly science fiction novel, you’ll definitely want to consider getting a copy of Taken. We’re already anxious to get started on the just-released second book in the series — Risk.

I was chatting with Brock the other day and I mentioned I was going to be doing a short review and plug for his book on my blog. Well, being the generous guy he is, he offered to put together some special prices on signed copies of his books.
There are limited numbers of these available, so if you’re interested, I wouldn’t hesitate to jump on this deal — it’s the best deal you’re likely going to find online. In fact, Brock’s not making a penny by offering these: he just wanted to bless my readers with a great deal!

My 10-year-old son just read Taken and loved it! It’s incredibly hard to find quality books for his age range and reading level. No worries at all with this one. I highly recommend it for a summer reading list.
I just ordered my son a copy and he is really excited. After returning a stack of books due to inappropriate content, I am looking forward to having my son read a book by Christian author. Thank you for the recommendation. I hadn’t heard of these books before.
Thanks for all your support. Thanks Crystal for such a great review. God is truly awesome and has opened every door to this series being published. Feel free to follow me on facebook to see the inside scoop on Unleash (Book 3)!
Can’t wait for Book #3. Keep on writing — you’ve got some big fans at this house who’d be very disappointed if you didn’t!
Thanks! My son LOVED the imagination station books.
I bought Taken for my 10 year old’s bday and he is reading it now. He loves it and can’t put it down. Went ahead and ordered Risk through your special price…he’s buying it with birthday money! Thanks so much. It’s wonderful to have morally pure books for our kids to read that are so exciting.
perfect timing, I was just looking for books for my boys to read this summer. It is hard to find books for my 11 yr old to read!(ones I approve of anyways)
Does anyone know what age this is geared towards?
Amazon says ages 13 and up — though Kathrynne is 7 and she really enjoyed it (she’s also big into gadgets and spy stuff and mystery, though, so that’s probably why she enjoyed it so much at a younger age!).
You can see inside the book to get an idea of the level here:

Great! I have a 13 year old boy who hates to read. I thought this might interest him. We’ll give it a try.
