Esther Didn't Dream of Being Queen
"A well-told Bible story of a strong, determined, persistent woman that will resonate with modern young readers." -KIRKUS REVIEWS
Esther (of the Purim story) would rather dig in her garden and spend time with her cousin Mordechai than live in a palace. So when the king chooses her as queen, her new life is far from a dream come true. And when danger comes, there is no fairy godmother to help out.
Will she have the courage to stand up for what's right?
