Marcus and the Emperor’s Coin is an exciting adventure in the Ancient Roman Empire at the time of Christ. Eight-year-old Marcus and his father are on a mission for the Emperor and visit a mine and a mint where coins are made. Marcus finds himself making a denarius, a coin with the emperor’s image.

Book Description:
Anne wonders what secret her three older brothers are hiding. When she finds out they joined to fight with the Union Army and would leave the next day, she gives them each one of her favorite two-cent pieces and says, “I want you to take one of my new two-cent pieces. I learned these coins are the first to have the words ‘In God We Trust.’ I just memorized Psalm 91:2. ‘I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.’”
Out of a heart of love, Anne gives six of her special coins away hoping the message on the two-cent pieces will strengthen each person’s faith.

My Review:
Dennis Conrad has written a great children’s book in his new release, The Two Cent Piece. It is, also, the start to his series called In God We Trust. Even though, this is for younger readers, I greatly enjoyed reading it for myself. I have been fascinated by old coins since I was a child and thought it was fun to read a story about the two cent piece. I thought Anne’s story was sweet and inspiring to read and I loved the lessons learned along the way.
The Two Cent Piece is beautifully illustrated by the talented artist Courtney Smith. I loved seeing the pictures on each page and getting the visual as to what is going on with the text. A wonderful addition to the book for the youngest of readers to follow along with the story and hold their attention.
The Two Cent Piece will be getting a very well deserved five plus stars. I highly recommend it for readers who enjoy reading inspiring historical fiction and are between the ages of five and eleven years old. I am looking forward to reading more books from In God We Trust series, including the second installment, Marcus and the Emperor's Coin, to see what else I would be learning about the coin.
I received a hard cover copy of Dennis Conrad's The Two Cent Piece from the publisher, but was not required to write a positive review. This review is one hundred percent my own honest opinion.
