    It’s 1852 and cousins Patrick and Beth sail to Fiji on the HMS Calliope under the command of Captain James E. Home. They arrive at the islands to find that the Christian Fijians are at war with the non-Christian Fijians. Missionary James Calvert is trying to make peace and suggests that the captain allow peace negotiations on board the British vessel. Patrick and Beth learn about sacrificial living when they observe Calvert’s determination to live on Fiji despite the dangers and impoverished conditions and that he is willing to risk his life to live as Jesus would.

      Battle for Cannibal Island is the 8th book in the Imagination Station series. If you are not familiar with Focus on the Family's Adventures in Odyssey the Imagination Station is a contraption built by Mr. Whit that takes kids on adventures in different parts of time. They go on adventures in the Bible and different times in history. We love these books because they help get our 8 year old interested in history. It's a great alternative to the Magic Tree House books as it uses no magic and I know it is from a Christian perspective and safe to read.

      The Battle for Cannibal Island is the story of missionary James Calvert. Patrick and Beth end up on a boat in the Queen's Navy in the 1850s. They end up as stowaways and Patrick ends up shipwrecked on Fiji or Cannibal Island. It is a story of Calvert's love for the Lord and putting others salvation above his own life. As in all Imagination Station books Patrick and Beth learn a valuable lesson about putting others needs above their own. It's a great read and we highly recommend it.

      I received a free copy of this product through Tyndale in exchange for my honest review. I was not required to write a positive review nor was I compensated in any other way. All opinions I have expressed are my own or those of my family. I am disclosing this in accordance with the FTC Regulations.

    The Ice-Cream Shop

    Beth walked inside Whit’s End, a popular ice-cream shop in Odyssey. A long line of Saturday customers stood waiting to order. A dozen other people sat at tables eating ice cream.

    Beth looked around for her cousin Patrick. He had said he would be there, but she didn’t see him.

    Mr. Whittaker waved at her from the counter. Then he pointed to the stairs leading to the basement.

    Beth, if you’re looking for Patrick, he said, he went down to the workshop.

    Thank you, Beth said.

    Is everything all right? Whit asked.

    Patrick seemed unusually quiet.

    We’ve been busy, Beth said. See you later, Mr. Whittaker.

    Let me know if you need anything, Whit said.

    Beth walked down the staircase that led to the workshop.

    The lights were off.

    Patrick? she called out. There was no answer.

    She flicked the light switch.

    Whit’s workshop was a large room and took up most of the basement. It was filled with electronic gadgets and parts of broken machines. One of his inventions was called the Imagination Station. It sat in the center of the room.

    And so did Patrick. His legs stuck out of the machine’s open door.

    I knew I’d find you here, Beth said. She moved closer to the machine.

    Patrick was sitting sideways in one of the seats. His eyes were closed. Go away, he said. Can’t you see I’m trying to take a nap?

    Beth didn’t move. What’s wrong? she asked.

    Patrick sighed. My mom is making me miss my soccer game tomorrow, he said. I have to go to a birthday party at Grandma’s instead.

    What’s wrong with Grandma? Beth asked. I like being with her.

    She always lectures me about how I should eat more prunes, Patrick said. And she says I don’t work as hard as she did when she was my age. Plus she pinches my cheeks … I have to give up my soccer game for that.

    Beth nodded. She sat in the seat next to Patrick’s. I know how you feel, she said. I had to miss a sleepover with my best friend because of a school project.

    Patrick didn’t seem to be listening. It’s an important game, he said. But my mom said they’ve had this birthday party planned for a long time. He slumped in his seat.

    Beth was quiet. She tried to think of a way to cheer him up. Then she said, Don’t forget I’ll be there too. We can sit next to each other.

    Patrick snorted. That won’t make it any better, he said. It’ll still be boring.

    Beth felt as if the unkind words were a slap in the face. She fought back the urge to get angry or to say something unkind in return.

    Patrick didn’t seem to know what he’d said. He reached up and touched a few of the buttons on the dashboard of the Imagination Station.

    What are you doing? Beth asked.

    Don’t worry, Patrick said. He kept touching the buttons. I think the machine is unplugged.

    Beth watched the dashboard for flashing lights. It’s a good thing, she said. We need to ask Mr. Whittaker before we use this.

    An adventure would be fun, he said softly. That would take my mind off of how bugged I am.

    Beth asked, Why don’t we go get some ice—

    The hum of the Imagination Station interrupted her. The lights on the dashboard blinked.

    What’s going on? Beth asked.

    I don’t know, Patrick said. But his eyes lit up. "Maybe the Imagination Station wants us to have an adventure."

    It doesn’t work that way, Beth said.

    Patrick pushed a button, and the doors slid closed.

    Patrick! Beth cried.

    I want to see what’ll happen, Patrick said. Don’t be such a baby.

    So now I’m boring and a baby, Beth thought.

    The lights on the control panel began to flash rapidly.

    But we don’t know what it’s programmed to do, Beth said.

    "It probably won’t do
