Marcus and the Emperor's Coin

Marcus and the Emperor’s Coin is the second installment from the children's series, In God We Trust by Dennis Conrad. I thought this was a great story that teaches children a valuable lesson, while using an element of faith, as well as, history. Even though I am not the targeted audience for it, I thoroughly enjoyed reading it. It was entertaining to follow Marcus on his journey and seeing what he would encounter along the way. Particularly, someone very important and what he learns about God. I liked the pages to follow with more historical context and some fun facts. Marcus and the Emperor’s Coin is beautifully illustrated by the talented artist, Courtney Smith. I found the pictures were a great addition to the story and helped the youngest of readers to see a visual of what is going on from page to page. I am giving Marcus and the Emperor’s Coin a very well deserved five plus stars. I highly recommend it for readers who are between the ages of five and ten and love to read historical fiction. I am hoping for more books to read from the In God We Trust series to see what Dennis Conrad has in store for his young readers. This one should not be missed. I received a hard cover copy of Dennis Conrad's Marcus and the Emperor’s Coin from the publisher, but was not required to write a positive review. This review is one hundred percent my own honest opinion.
