Other Bells for Us to Ring
by Robert Cormier[From the front flap:] "At eleven, Darcy has never had a best friend, but this summer she's met the unsinkable Kathleen Mary O'Hara, who, like Darcy, is an outsider in Frenchtown. Darcy has never lived for long in any one place, but it's wartime and her father is in the army somewhere in Europe. Because her own family is Unitarian, Darcy is spellbound by Kathleen Mary's vivid tales about Catholicism. But after that careless baptism, she's stunned. A bit of holy water can't make you a Catholic, or can it? Was Kathleen Mary joking? Must she now go to church every Sunday? Can she eat meat on Friday? Then Kathleen Marry and her family disappear from Frenchtown, and Darcy waits in vain for word from her friend who promised she'd never leave her. Soon after, Darcy learns that her father is missing in action. Desperate and forlorn, Darcy seeks out an old nun known for her spiritual wisdom. Religion is about love, the nun tells her, and about miracles. It's Christmas now, but Darcy remains unsure about the power of God's love until she gets a message from Kathleen Mary--in the form of a miracle. Robert Cormier's first book for children is a touching and profound portrayal of Darcy's curiosity--and doubt--about faith that will appeal to all those who struggle to make sense of a bewildering world." Readers will sympathize with the feelings of eleven-year-olds and learn about life and situations of families whose loved ones served in the armed forces during World War II. Practices of Catholicism and Unitarianism are seen simply through the eyes of children and the point made that there are many ways to God which, no matter what the religion, involve faith and love.
