Summary
Joel, a crippled boy, cannot play with the children and has nothing to care about. Rabbi Phineas helps him to find something he can do and tells him the reason that he is so kind is because of a boy from his hometown of Nazareth. Soon stories are going about everywhere of miracles, and some people think that the Messiah has come. Then someone tells Joel he should ask for his back to be healed. Will Joel be able to find the miracle worker? (Summary by AdeledePignerolles)

I loved this retelling of the story in the Gospels of Jesus. I thought the author did well to create believable events in Joel’s life where he would hear about Jesus’ life, such as the visit to shepherds where he heard about the firsthand story of the announcement from the angels about Jesus’ birth. Also, believable situations where he met those who were healed and then of his own healing. If I could find a copy of this book, I would add it to the collection I have for reading to children, (possibly grandchildren?). I listened to an audio recording by Librivox. The girl who read the story was very well suited. But when it started to come to the events of Holy Week, she became so excited that she read very fast! This made it extremely difficult to keep up with the story.
