Even the most reluctant reader will be drawn into the adventures of Patrick Wigglesworth in this hilarious chapter-book-meets-graphic-novel. Tricky Times picks up where the first Patrick Wigglesworth's Bizarre Bible Adventure book, Over My Head, left off. Patrick is now in fifth grade and at a brand new school. He and his best friends are confronted by a new crop of cool kids. These kids have moved up from Silicon Valley, CA, and are threatening to do away with the Gasket way of life. Patrick, wading into politics for the first time, decides to run for student council president in order to thwart the school takeover. Things don't turn out at all the way he planned in his fifth-grade political career. The same is true for his Bizarre Bible Adventure (BBA for short) which takes him through the Bible books from Joshua through Job. The newly appointed leader of the Israelites, Joshua, serves as Patrick's tour guide and shows him that taking the Promised Land is just as messy as Patrick's life! Will Patrick's faith and skill rise to the occasion for success in school politics? Will he be able to thwart the takeover of the Silicon Valley transplants? Read the book to find out!
On a boring Saturday, Patrick picks up a Bible and is transported to a magical place where he is introduced to the great stories of the Bible as they take place in front of him.
Patrick Wigglesworth's Bizarre Bible Adventures is a series of hilarious comic journals for preteens. Readers will follow 10-year-old Patrick as he draws silly comics about his weird life. Just how weird is Patrick's life? It's so weird that Patrick gets yanked out of his room and into the Bible! In each book, Patrick meets a different Bible character who acts as a tour guide through a portion of the Bible. For example, in this first book, Patrick meets Moses, who leads him on a journey through biblical events from Genesis to Deuteronomy. In his journal, Patrick records all of his bizarre Bible adventures (BBAs for short). Most of the journal covers Patrick's weird daily life entries with flashbacks to a relevant Bible adventure. Of course, this journal has to be kept secret, as he's convinced everyone would think he was crazy! To be clear, Patrick's journal does NOT tell the real Bible stories. It's about his Bible adventures. This is not a Bible storybook but rather a creative, humorous kid adventure that also teaches preteens about the Bible.
The story focuses around a boy named Patrick. One day he was so bored that he even picked up his Bible. “Why would anyone read this?” he wonders. “Good question!” boomed a deep voice. “Let the adventure begin!” Suddenly he is yanked off of his bed and into the first book in the Bible called Genesis. So goes the tale as he bounces into each book of the bible learning from the characters the Big Idea of each of their books. This book is not another children’s Bible storybook but a book about the Big Idea of each of the Bible books. It comes with a bookmark so the kids can check off the books as they journey with Patrick book by book. "Hooked On The Book" will give kids the framework for all of the Bible stories that they will learn in their lifetime.
