Great for kids

This book is written in very simple language and all difficult words such as "refugee" are defined. The book doesn't skimp on details although the action is fast paced and the character development is nil. Parents will probably want to talk over the themes of this book as torture and execution are mentioned although not in detail. Hark the Herald Angel is given the assignment of travelling through time and investigating the important events in Bishop Kivenegere's life. Children may come away with a distorted view of angels, but it is a neat device. Hark takes his trusty notebook and pencil along with a camera in order to record events. Overall, this book is sweet and overly short. More character development would have been nice along with some details about what happened to the couple and their daughter later in life.
