Now it's a strange doorway in Max's dad's study. Toby attempts to crash a party and the next thing the kids know they're all back in medieval times with an evil king who refuses to serve God and keeps trying to conquer kingdoms he has signed peace treaties with. A mad scientist wants Max to help him build modern warfare to attack the enemy and threatens the lives of the others if he doesn't obey. Allie is serving Lady Galatea, a once faithful, now bitter, hardened woman who has decided that nothing short of a miracle will get her to believe in God again. Grady and Toby are to be squires learning sword fighting. Can the kids stop the evil king from destroying other kingdoms? Can Allie convince Lady Galatea to believe? Can Max resist the temptation to help the doctor build modern warfare? Without timebender will the kids ever get home again? | Extra Notes: | This book deals alot with salvation and where God is when bad things happen. Lady Galatea turned against God when things got hard and her husband died in one of the king's wars. She makes no attempt to resist the evil king's decree that the chapel be closed and no one worship the true God. It's also a challenge in loving your enemies as Toby continues to provoke the others. First Allie, then Grady realize the importance of showing love to Toby no matter how much he resists it and throws it back in their faces. | Reviewer: | J:-)mi | Recommendation Scale: | 4 |
