Jairus's Girl

Entertaining and moving kids'-eye view of the Jesus story - aimed at preteens, though some adults have sneakily read and enjoyed it too.
Tammie's life in a quiet fishing town would never be the same. Her future wasn't looking good (understatement!) but things quickly went from bad to WICKED with the arrival of a strange grown-up with nice eyes.
And as for the business with Daniel's lunch, or Dibs's roof...

JAIRUS'S GIRL is the Galilee side of The Young Testament, a fun, accessible series of full-length books about Jesus, from the viewpoint of the children and young people involved.
