Mystery of the Necklace

Going to a new school often means that you do not immediately have new friends. That was also the case with Paul.

And yet there is a classmate who is concerned about the “new boy.” John isn’t swayed by his classmates and befriends Paul.

Sometimes, however, it seems there is something between him and Paul, and yet it is not only because of the fact that Paul never goes to church.

In school the classmates even whisper that Paul is a thief…

Jake and Jimmy and the Secret Wishes

Jake and Jimmy have a secret. Jake wants a rowboat. Jimmy wants a violin. But where will they get them? Mommy and Daddy don’t have enough money for a boat or a violin. And so, Jake and Jimmy go on a search of their own. They need oars and wood. Surely Grandpa could make a boat and a violin for them! While they are hunting for the things they need, the two little brothers have a lot of adventures. They rescue a little dog, help the police catch a thief, and almost cut down Mr. Tony’s new tree. Every time they find something for their violin or boat, they lose it again. Will Jimmy ever play the violin? And will Jake ever go fishing in his own little boat?
