This is an apologetics’ book geared towards kids. The publisher labeled the book as Juvenile Nonfiction. Technically it’s actually a book that lets the readers enter a fictional story of being a cadet in a “Cadet Academy” analogous to the Police Explore program (where kids have the opportunity to understand how the police work) but with a twist: the detective teaching the class also present reasons why Christianity is a faith that is true. The author is Jim Warner Wallace who in real life has worked for decades as a police officer and cold-case detective. As a detective he became a Christian when he started to look into Christianity. With his background he applied his detective skills in evaluating and later defending the Christian worldview. There’s definitely a lot of good illustrations, examples and analogy that detective Wallace draws upon to make his point throughout the book. I read this aloud to my daughters and they enjoyed this book more than I expected (my oldest is eight and youngest is four).
