Fourth in a set of Advent adventure books for families, Ishtar's Odyssey follows the ten-year-old son of a Persian wise man as their caravan follows a star across the desert. Ishtar would just as soon stay in the comfort of the palace, but slowly he learns that there's much to see, do, and learn in this world that can't be experienced in school. He eventually meets Jotham, Bartholomew, and Tabitha as he follows his father and uncles in their search for a newborn king.
This title is part of the Jotham's Journey Christmas Series. This series of four adventure books is designed for families to read together during the four weeks before Christmas. The four books are not sequels. They cover the same time period from four different perspectives as the lives of the heroes intertwine.
Ishtar's Odyssey is included in Sonlight's Advent Unit Study: Ishtar's Odyssey.
