Recently we have been reading The Adventures of Rooney Cruz RINGLEADERS from The Bible Belles series by Truth Becomes Her during our morning story time. Kandy is always thrilled to sit and read with Mommy but the boys weren't as thrilled to read an all girls storyline book. It really didn't take long draw them in, less than the attention span of Kandy...usually by the end of story time they're close to me while Kandy has found something else!
This book is about a young girl named Ronney who is auditioning for a play in her drama class at school. Rooney is a blonde haired blue eyed 10-12 years old girl who longs for a lead in the school play. This is how Karter got sucked in, he loves Drama class and has similar desires! Rooney's emotions go up and down throughout the book as internal struggles occur, this was something Krissy could relate to. She prays and in Prayer has visits from an angel that shows her stories from the bible and how they compare to Rooney's struggles. The kids and I were able to have great discussions throughout this story how important it is to pray to God and ask for guidence, that the Holy Spirit will guide us further (similarly to the angel in the story) and how reading the Bible will help give us answers as well! I especially love that while reading to my kids and it spoke out to me as well, I’m challenging myself to be more like Mary and less like Martha!
While The Ringleaders book is marketed for girls, it's great for boys as well. My boys proved that rather quickly! It is approximately 9x9 in size with a hardback cover and 200 thick glossed pages. The words are in a large easy to read font and there are photos on every two page spread! The illustrations are very well done and shows great diversity amoung characters. There are 9 chapters in the book and at the end of every chapter there's a bible verse. The book ends almost as a cliffhanger, leaving some creative thinking from the children but also making them crave more story time!! Can't wait to see if there will be a continuation to it!

I would definitely recommend the Ringleaders Book for 7-12 year old girls, or families with mixed gender children, it would definitely make for a great Christmas gift. The Ringleaders book is a continuation to The Adventures of Rooney Cruz Bible Belles series and has other companion products like a Ringleaders Journal for Mother's and Daughters, A Ringleaders Devotional for Girls and a Ringleaders Coloring Book. All of these have the great illustrations and characters that match the book.
