This Pope is Cool

At first I thought popes were kind of boring, but when I read this book I thought they were cool! If you like biography, fun, and learning about chilhood of world figures ,this is the perfect book for you. Pope John Paul II went through a lot of sorrow in his life; when he was 9 his mom died,when he was 12 his brother died and when he was 15 his friends went away because of the Nazis. What I learned is that no matter what happens, life goes on and things will get better. I can't wait for you to read Pope John Paul II, Young Man of the Church!!!
