Another Classic Story By One Of Our Favorite Children's Authors!
Si Mohamed refused to listen to his conscience. Hamid was eleven and could soon be left to earn his own living, but this might be the first and last chance he would ever have of getting rid of Kinza. "How much will you give me?" He said at last. They finally agreed on a price . . .
So begins the tale of Hamid and his daring attempt to rescue his little blind sister from their merciless stepfather. Together they escape from their mountain village to a town where there may be a new home for Kinza. But this is only the start of their adventures. Will their stepfather come after them? Will Hamid be able to find the English nurse that once helped his mother? What will happen to Kinza?
Patricia St. John has a way of masterfully telling stories that clearly share about the love of Christ and what it means to be a Christian. It has been over 50 years since the first edition of Star of Light was published. It has been reprinted many times and has become a classic of its time. In this new edition, Mary Mills has sensitively adapted the language of the book for a new generation of children, while preserving Patricia St. John's skill as a storyteller.
Patricia St. John (1914 - 1992) was born in England. She was a nurse, a missionary, a relief worker, and the writer of many books for children including Treasures of the Snow and The Tanglewoods' Secret.
