“The writing is lively and accessible, and the story is elegantly told. Laura has dealt with difficult topics in an age appropriate way. All of us, and children especially, love heroes and heroines. There is here a sense of adventure but also of high spiritual and moral purpose. Using a single verse from the Bible to frame each story is a good way to help children remember the promises of the Word of God. I love the illustrations! ”
