But finding Elizabeth will take them on a race against the clock that bends time itself!
Review
The Future Door is the second in the kid’s series, No Place Like Holmes. I love that the smart detective, Griffin Sharpe, is a kid. He is a budding Sherlock Holmes which has his uncle, Rupert Snodgrass, inventor of some crazy contraptions, slightly jealous and proud at the same time. It’s such a fun adventure book that incorporates Biblical truths like God using “even the most painful tragedies for good.” I also love how the book throws out one liners of the clues Griffin sees when he’s in a sticky situation or when he’s trying to figure out a crime. I think it helps kids think and draw conclusions for the outcome. I would definitely recommend this book! Silly names (Snodgrass??), problem solving adventures, and truths from God’s word? Need I say more?
My nine year old boy’s opinion of the book…”it’s cool and mysterious.” There you have it.
Recommended age: 8 and up
