This review is from: The Ancient Omen (Elijah Creek & The Armor of God) (Paperback)

The Ancient Omen, a book written by Lena Wood, though a fiction book, will help you learn about God. Elijah, Robbie, Reece, Mei, and Skid find a piece of armor at the bottom of a hill that will lead them to the adventure of their lives. During their summer break, in a town where usually nothing happens, Elijah Creek, a fourth grader, and his friends named Robbie, Reece, Mei, and Skid, who are all very adventurous, find a belt but don't know what to do next. When looking for another piece of armor, Elijah, Robbie, Reece, Mei, and Skid find a body that might be the daughter of a man named Dolan. They get into trouble with the police and are forced to tell the truth to what feels like the whole world. Elijah regrets he ever got into this mess. Elijah tries very hard to stay out of trouble but it seems to turn out bad most of the time.

I wasn't like any of the kids in the story because I don't keep secrets and hardly anything exciting ever happens to me. Once though, I did search for treasure in my woods with my friends Rob and Mark, and found some nails with a metal detector. This is my text-to-self connection. Elijah and I are not the same in many ways. For example, he gets into trouble more often than me.

The Ancient Omen is a great book. It explains a lot about Christianity and can help you with some problems you might face in life like lying. I liked it when Elijah and his friends found the belt at the bottom of the hill. If I could change anything in this book it would be instead of finding the belt they would find a sword or shield. People who might like this book are Christians or people who have just become Christians because the armor they find is the armor of God. Third and fourth graders will probably like this book.
