he three stories in this book were unique and quite interesting. I enjoyed the book so much that I decided that I would share it with my children. (We sometimes have read-alouds, even though two are in their teens and one is a pre-teen!) The main limitation of the first two stories is that the build up to the climax is too long. However, the climax of each of the first two stories is riveting. The last story was quite different from the first two, as it is set in a civil war. It was exciting from the start to the end! Although the author did not highlight the gruesome deaths, this story does include the horror of war (which I find difficult to read). Parents of younger children should be mindful of this fact.
As a Christian book, it was also inspirational and provided the values that I consider important for my family.
