    About this audiobook

    When Corey wakes up, he finds himself on an epic adventure – straight out of Genesis!

    The last thing ten-year-old Corey remembers (before the world as he knew it disappeared) was the searing pain in his head after falling while chasing his dog, Molly into the woods. What happens next can’t be explained as Corey wakes up and finds himself face-to-face with not one but two lions!

    The Imagine series brings the Bible to life for today’s kids as they ponder what it would be like to live through a monumental biblical event.

      Jam-packed, full of action-from the very first page! Corey, a young boy is saddened by the fact that his family has to move from Texas to Florida. His mom tries to explain to him, that God will be with them no matter where they live at, he kind of understands. He is at the park with his mom and his dog Molly one day, he's playing fetch with Molly, throwing a ball for her. He throws the ball for her and she runs after the ball, but doesn't come back, so he runs to see what has caught her attention. He trips and falls and KAPOW!!!! He ZINGS! Back into the past, and he's talking to Noah and his three sons and SEES the ARK-WOW-HE REALLY TALKS TO NOAH AND HIS SONS and HELPS THEM LOAD ANIMALS INTO THE ARK!!! And animals just walk up two by two and wait patiently to get onto the ark..... I received a complimentary copy of this book from Barbour Publishing and was under no obligation to publish a review.

      “Imagine: The Great Flood” is a short, quick read. Combining a time-travel adventure with Biblical history, Koceich crafts an inspirational story for young readers, drawing parallels between the two. The tale opens in modern-day Texas, where ten-year-old Corey Max is having a hard time dealing with an upcoming move that his family will be making to Florida. He suddenly finds himself immersed in ancient Mesopotamia, where preparations for Noah’s ark are almost complete. However, powerful opposition threatens to interrupt the project and bring harm to Noah’s family. As Corey works together with Noah’s sons, he comes to understand similarities to his own situation and wonders if he will ever have a chance to get back home. Although this is a short book, it packs plenty of action and lessons about trusting God into its pages, making it a great choice for kids.

      Wow! I was blown away by this book. It hits the ground running and never lets up the pace from there to the end. This read is a definite thumbs up. In a series of quirky events, ten-year-old Corey is thrown into an adventure of epic proportions putting him right in the scene of a huge flood--THE Flood--just before the doors to the boat are about to close. Moment by moment Corey's life is in jeopardy while evil all around him is trying to prevent him from reaching safety. Not only does Matt Koceich write appropriate age-related physical conflict to create suspense in this book, but he also includes the more subtle battles of the mind and will, including deception, betrayal and temptation. Although the book is short in length, only 110 pages, the author skillfully blends all the elements together to make a fast-paced read for early readers. The high interest level is sure to attract reluctant readers as well. As a parent years ago, my children and I would read together all the Magic Treehouse books as the stars in this series would travel the world to solve puzzles and find missing pieces. This has that type of feel to it, but without the pictures and with great foundational teaching. It is a chapter book which I believe will lend itself to being read aloud to very young children. If the author develops this into a series, and I think that may be his intention, then we are in for a treat. In the meantime, I highly recommend you pick this up for your young readers and listeners. They'll love this adventure. In fact, anyone between the ages of 7 to 107 will enjoy this book.Disclosure of Material Connection: I received a complimentary review copy of this book from Barbour Publishing on behalf of the author.

      This is a wonderful children's Christian story for ages 8-13. This has a great story of Corey and how he has to trust his parents and God that moving will not be the worst that can happen to a person. Corey gets to live through what may have happened to Noah and his family as they try to get the animals on the ark. I really enjoyed this and believe that children will enjoy the story by themselves or have it read to them. I received a copy of this book from Barbour for a fair and honest opinion that I gave of my own free will.

      Fast-paced action and adventure is what you get with Matt Koceich’s book for kids, Imagine . . . The Great Flood. The first book in the Imagine series, this novel takes main character Corey from his suburban neighborhood to the site of Noah’s Ark and the ensuing flood. This imaginative book gets your child thinking about the familiar Bible story by putting them right in the middle of the action.Ten year-old Corey is disappointed that his family will soon be moving from Texas to Florida. Faced with leaving all he finds familiar, he is feeling a bit sorry for himself. Then an accident plunges him into another world. Waking up in the time of Noah, Corey sees for himself the events leading up to the flood.I found Imagine . . . The Great Flood an interesting read for kids. Koceich takes the basic facts of the Flood account and adds his own twist. Corey not only interacts with Noah and his sons, but some of the lesser known people alive at this time — the Nephilim. His fictional account of the well-known Bible story made me go back to the Bible to check out what God’s word had to say about it all. That’s a good thing. It gets the reader to investigate on their own. This book isn’t really time travel, but more of a dream. But in it, Corey discovers truths about God — the fact that He never changes, is in complete control, and has a plan and a purpose for our lives. The end of the book finds Corey and his family settled into their new home and community. The things he learned in his dream are reinforced in his new life.I think 8-12 year-old readers, especially boys, will like this chapter book. It is a great step towards getting them to think about God and dig deeper into His word.Recommended.Audience: children ages 8-12.(Thanks to Barbour for a complimentary copy.
