Max Lucado’s Hermie & Friends – Skeeter and the Mystery of the Lost Mosquito Treasure


Here is my first try at a review as a member of the Thomas Nelson Book Review Blogger program. I’m open to any suggestions in how I can write better reviews.

Skeeter and Sir Sinclair M. Skeeto are two very unique individuals. They are unique not only because they are mosquitos but also in that they are brothers with very different personalities. Skeeter has a crooked nose that he is ashamed of and wonders if he is of any use. Sir Sinclair M. Skeeto on the other hand is quite proud of himself but also hides a little something he is ashamed of. The two brothers join together to find the lost treasure and discover that their individual particularities are what makes them unique and allows them to discover the treasure.

Based on Psalm 139:13-14, our two friends learn a very important lesson: Each of us is special because we are created by God. Just like the other stories in this DVD series, this one is very well done. The characters are fun to watch and you’ll enjoy getting to know them. The story is mixed with a good dose of humor. My kids enjoyed watching it and have asked to see it over and over again. The specific theme of each DVD makes it easy for parents to open up discussion with their children and elaborate on the theme. The DVD quality is great plus it offers a few bonus features.

I certainly recommend this DVD and the others in the Hermie & Friends series. Your kids will enjoy them and so will you!
