[Kimberly · Rating 3 out of 5]

This collection of young saints' lives is told in a very conversational tone as if the author is reading to the reader and asking to reader to consider various points the story elicits. Interesting info about the saints.

As a side note: the editing of this book was lacking. I found numerous typos or missing words throughout the book.

This is a collection of stories about young Saints of the Catholic Church. I have enjoyed Bob and Penny Lord books before and enjoyed this one, except it was slightly more conversational with thoughts about teens today rather than a straightforward account of these Saints. Worth the read to find out more about the Saints.
