Following young Luke and his friends as they unravel clues about Solomon's temple and search for Luke's missing father, this book captivates with its blend of mystery, adventure, and educational insights. With engaging characters and a thrilling plot, this first installment in The Newton Chronicles series is a must-read that promises to both entertain and enlighten.
- Reviewed in the United States on August 19, 2024This book was an absolute thrill from start to finish! I feel everyone would enjoy this read. I loved being transported back to biblical times and trying to guess which era I was in before the big reveal. The blend of history and mystery kept me hooked, and I learned a lot. This book also rekindled my memories of Bible stories from my youth. The author did a great job. Highly recommended for readers of all ages!
- Reviewed in the United States on July 27, 2024I enjoyed book 1 of the Newton Chronicles. I think my grandkids will enjoy it as well, especially since it has more pics in the book than a usual 9-13-year-old book. I was intrigued by the connection with Newton and the space-time continuum. Kids hear about this in movies and TV shows, as well as video games. For me, I felt disappointed the kids didn't reach their goal by the end of the book, and merely went from one place to another. I'd have to read the rest of the series to see if this plot line repeats itself until they reach their goal by the end of the series. I'm curious to see how Overton sustains the interest of the reader in the rest of the chronicles. It seems predictable that they will continue to visit biblical times until the end.
- Reviewed in the United States on April 30, 2024Soldiers, Temples, and Crystals by Terry Overton is an incredible children’s book that is captivating. As Luke travels to search for his father, his journey takes him on a fascinating adventure. This book is not only one that pulls you in, but it is also educational as well. It is a great read which is perfect for all ages.
- Reviewed in the United States on November 24, 2022This has got to be the most exciting book that I have read in a very long time. It says it is geared for the youth but it had my 62 year old heart pumping like you wouldn’t believe. I loved traveling back in the biblical times and trying to guess before you found out which time you were visiting. I am going to suggest this to my daughter because she is homeschooling my grand daughter with a Christian based curriculum and this book would be perfect. I learned so much from this book. I didn’t realize just how intelligent Isaac Newton was and I got to revisit so many Bible stories from my youth. All I can say is WOW was this book exciting, mysterious and informing. My grand daughter loves history so she is going to love this book. I highly recommend this book to all age groups. Amazing job by Terry Overton. I can’t wait for the next book in this series.
- Reviewed in the United States on April 17, 2024This is such a great story for children. I cannot recommend this book highly enough. It is well written and captivating. 5 stars...
- Reviewed in the United States on January 4, 2023What adventures these three children/youth are going to have as they search for Luke’s father who disappeared two years ago on a search for Solomon’s Temple. Where is he? Is he alive?
The kids spend time in the father’s study, accumulating clues, they wonder if there are such things as time/space continuums and quantum physics. With a few gadgets, they are about to find out.
Many times, children have curiosity and energy to ask and find the answers to questions adults set aside. Do you still have that childlike curiosity?
I enjoyed this book as an adult, and I know children and youth will enjoy visiting the places with the three young people in this series.
Bravo, Terry!
- Reviewed in the United States on January 19, 2023The main characters were likeable and interesting. The journey they begin to solve the mystery of Luke's father's disappearance and find Solomon's Temple is captivating. If anything, I would have liked each adventure to be longer and more detailed -- though of course the main characters could not get distracted from their goal and stay too long in any one era! This is a great series for children to learn more about biblical settings.
