Illustrated by
Jacqueline Rogers.
Fourth-grader Chelsea, who considers herself the "best acolyte" and the "best good-deed-doer," experiences her first crisis of faith. Her spiritual growth is handled believably and with humor, as is her metamorphosis from sanctimonious to genuinely kind and generous. Those searching for religious-themed fiction will find much to rejoice in here.
