Three kids from Odyssey jump in a river to escape the pressing crowds, and come out in a fountain in the land of Marus. One of the kids is enticed by the riches of the land and finds herself in the King's palace, while the other two kids are with the exiled prince who is trying to set the slaves free.
This story follows the Biblical account of Moses during the time of the plagues, telling the story from a kid's perspective. This is the sixth book in the Passages series which transports kids from Odyssey into the land of Marus and its surrounding countries. Marus is a fictional world where two moons light the night sky, and their history is parallel to that of the Old Testament. This is a great book for kids and adults alike. It would be a great book to read together as a family.
