Another wonderful story to carry us through Advent. The children were delighted when Bartholomew's story intersected with Jotham's from last year. Every chapter left them hanging and anxious to hear more. Great family read aloud for Advent.

Our Advent book this year, the second in a trilogy.
It is a delightful story and a wonderful tradition with a devotion following each chapter. I am thrilled these have been republished and look forward to the third next year.
