Review # 1 was written on 2016-02-19 00:00:00 Dan Pope Eleven year old Mara lives in Jerusalem with her parents and younger brother Nathan who is ten. Her father Joshua is a respected architect, but he is also a leader of The Way, which is what the followers of Jesus Christ are called. Mara and her brother, along with their friends Obadiah and Sarah, have formed the New Israel Club which is made up of true Hebrew Christian kids, as opposed to Jewish kids from Greece and Cyprus, like Karis, a Caesarean whose father Timon was a servant in the church, and Akbar, an Egyptian from somewhere near the Nile River, who have come to Jerusalem and are looked on by some as outcasts. However, problems arise. The children end up watching as their friend Stephen is stoned, and a man named Saul of Tarsus leads a persecution of the early church. One day Saul�s men interrupt a meeting of The Way in Mara�s home and arrest all of the friends� parents. The kids manage to escape, but will they be hunted down too? What will happen to the adults? And who manages to lead the others to safety in the sewers and tunnels underneath the city? This well-written, imaginative, and worthwhile book is another of the �KidWitness Tales� series of stories which attempt to portray young people living in Biblical times facing problems relevant to today�s youth. In addition to a better understanding of the New Testament background regarding persecution, the important lesson that youngsters can learn is about accepting people whose social class and background are different from their own. Author Clint Kelly is a communications specialist for Seattle Pacific University and has also written Scent, the first book in the �Sensations� series.

Review # 2 was written on 2021-04-21 00:00:00 Kraig Ogden Agh this book. I love this series. The author also wrote the Lily books and some other books. But this one. It messed with my feelings a lot when I first read it and it was the most suspenseful book I had read as a teenager (next to Bryan Davis' Dragons in our Midst). It kept me up all night, making my heart race because I wanted to know that everything would be okay. Nancy Rue knows how to keep readers on their toes with the problems she throws her interesting and spunky characters into.
