The Whisper in the Ruins

By Lisa M. Hendey

Patrick and his twin sister, Katie, are shocked to find someone threw a brick through the stained-glass window of St. Francis of Assisi at St. Anne's. Who would do such a thing? Before they can investigate, Patrick is swept into another adventure-to the town of Assisi, Italy, in the year 1205. There he meets a brave young man determined to leave his family's wealth behind in order to answer God's call in his life. Francis's father is furious, and will do almost anything to stop his son. Will Patrick be able to help Francis, and get back to St. Anne's in time to solve the mystery?
