There’s a Spaceship in my Tree House! by Robert West

Joey, 11, had the privilege of reading and reviewing this new book from ZonderKids.

If you’re looking for a fun quick reading adventure for your kid, then this is it. Joey will tell more below, but here’s the backcover synopsis:

 
Beamer, age 13, who speaks only Californian, is an alien in the world of Middle America, exiled to a bizarre, ancient house on a mysterious street that may or may not exist on any map. With the help of a nerdy African-American kid named Ghoulie, a gangly tomboy named Scilla, and a miraculous, broken-down tree house shaped like a spaceship, he battles the indigenous life forms in his new home, from bullying creatures to the strange inhabitants of dark castles, subterranean caverns, and a spider web the size of a house, to discover how God gives a distinctive purpose to each uniquely designed human being.

Suggested Uses: Spiritual Growth

Review by Joey (11)

This book is definitely one of those books you can’t judge by the cover. It looks like a little kid’s story, but once you actually read it you understand and it is exciting.

It is about a boy who moves to a new town and feels very uncomfortable and wishes he can just go home. To add to his troubles, he is picked on by a bully. He meets two friends who along with him discover a tree house which turns out to be a spaceship. The spaceship is magical and takes them on many exciting adventures.

I liked this book, and I would recommend to others who like astronomy and fantasy.
