“Christos told us not to fear those who can kill our bodies. Instead, we’re to fear those who can destroy our souls.”
“Hunt for the Devil’s Dragon” takes on an historical legend as opposed to a true, historical character with the legend of Sir George and the Dragon.
After Beth fails to stick up for a friend at school for fear of being ridiculed, Whit sends cousins Beth and Patrick to learn a lesson on mercy, paying debts for others, and standing up for what’s right — no matter what.
They find themselves in the port city of Leptis Magna in Libya, which is ruled by Roman soldiers. They quickly strike up a friendship with brother and sister Hazi and Sabra.
Soldier Georgius quickly comes to their defense when Prefect Lucius wants to arrest Beth and Patrick for illegally coming to the port. Because of his love for Christos, he pays their debt — no questions asked. He shows “mercy by paying the debts of others.”
When the cousins return to Hazi’s and Sabra’s village, Silene, they are thrown into mayhem when the citizens are clamoring to sacrifice the village children to a dragon whose appetite can’t be appeased.
With the help of Georgius, these four brave kids learn the truth behind the dragon — both human and animal. They learn there is hope through God’s strength.
“Hunt for Devil’s Dragon” is a fun, fairy tale-like story, but it does have some intense moments that may not be appropriate for young children. It is a tale from the Adventures in Odyssey series, featuring strong moral tales and exciting action. The “Imagination Station” series is appropriate for children ages 7 and older, however I would probably recommend this book for children closer to ages 10 and up, due to some scenes that deal with more mature subject matter.
Four stars out of five.
