Theft and The Miracle, The

ALAN Review,  Fall 2007  by Gale, Sarah A

The Theft and The Miracle by Rebecca Wade Religion/Spirituality/Mystery Katherine Tegen Books, 2007, 351 pp., $16.99 ISBN: 978-0060774936

This captivating story is about a junior high girl named Hannah Price, who lives in southern England. She struggles academically and has a remarkably good skill for art.

Her world whirls in unexpected mysteries when on one stormy day after classes she takes shelter in a cathedral. This is the same day as the theft of the statue in the cathedral, right after Hannah makes a remarkable drawing of the Virgin and Child statue.

The police and others suspect her because of her unusual behavior from that day. Hannah and her good friend Sam struggle to find the mysteries behind what has happened, but then they find they are up against a force much darker than an ordinary thief.
