Product Description

"What did you hear, you little twerp?" Tyke asked, holding Francis's wrists and looking at him with narrowed eyes.
"I heard about the phone booth, and Tyke, let me join your gang! If you want to smash phone booths, I could help you. I can run fast. I'm fastest under eleven in the school. I could watch out and warn you, and you could smash anything you wanted." Recommended for ages 9 to 12.

Author Bio

PATRICIA ST. JOHN (1919-1993) was a nurse, missionary and author. She earned a nursing degree at St. Thomas' Hospital in London in 1946. In the early 1950's she moved to Tangier, Morocco where she served as a missionary nurse for 27 years. Throughout her life, she travelled extensively in Europe, North Africa, and the Middle East, as the settings of her novels reflect. In 1977, she returned to England, where she cared for elderly relatives and ministered from her home to youths, single parents, and the elderly. Patricia authored numerous books, including Treasures of the Snow, The Tanglewoods' Secret, The Secret at Pheasant Cottage, and Star of Light.

THANKS PATRICIA M. ST.JOHN, MARY MILLS AND MOODY PRESS...GOD BLESS!! Walt Stewart March 22, 2011

I read this book from cover to cover non-stop because I wanted to see how it ended. A wonderful example of how the love of God lived out in the lives of people who love Him will draw others to want to know and love Him as well. Clearly portrays the emptiness of trying to find satisfaction in hurting and destroying, while showing at the same time what joy and fulfillment is found by loving and serving others. Children from breaking or broken homes will be able to relate to the pain and frustration Francis experiences and hopefully to find as he does where the river of God's love begins. August 22, 2007
