First a couple caveats- I like this book very, very much, but if you are Catholic, I would be surprised if you feel the same way.
Really, I guess that’s my main caveat. The only other things I would say by way of ‘warning’ would be that it can be a little slow to get [...]

Not only was it an exciting story, but it is a story of virtue and submission, even [...]

I just finished reading a great little book, Princess Adelina. This book is simple & yet deep. It is inspiring as well as based on a true story.
If this isn’t enough for me to read to my children, they love a good adventure, then the fact that we live right where it takes place is [...]
