The clock mounted on the face of the organ loft made a muted click as it measured off another minute. Charles glanced up at it - 4:30. It would soon be safe to leave for home.

The inside of the old church was dim. The only light came through the stained glass windows that ran along both sides of the nave. For the first few minutes after you walked in, it felt as if you'd come into a cave walled in colored glass. But as your eyes...

Stained Glass: A Great Success!

I have recently finished reading "Stained Glass" by Michael Bedard, and I must say it is a very interesting and adventurous book. It even has a lot of fictional memories that Charles remembered thanks to Ambriel, the girl that forgot her memory in "Stained Glass." "Stained Glass," I must say, is a very good book for young-adult readers like me!

A good read for young adults

What you expect isn't always what you get. After hearing a book talk about Stained Glass I was very excited to pick it up and read it. I soon realized that though the book was well written, it may be a better read for someone who is a bit younger than a junior in high school. The middle of the book tended to drag on a little more than what was necessary to compelete the novel. But I sitll managed to get caught up in the story of Charles and Ambriel. Charles goes to St. Bartholomew's church to skip his paino lessons. One day he hears a crash and finds that the church caretaker has accidentally broken a stained glass window. The broken window falls on a homeless girl and causes her to lose her memory. Charles cannot seem to shake this girl from his mind and ends up on a sojourn through his hometown of Caledon looking for clues to the homeless girl's past....
