","text":"Late last year I read the fifth book in this series, The Case of the Christmas Tree Capers, a Christmas story. I enjoyed it and appreciated the concept. I stated that it reminded me of Tales of a Magic Monastery by Theophane the Monk. And that sense is even stronger after reading the first volume. It is a cute read, and I have picked up the rest of the books in the series. I am prereading them, and then reading them with my youngest two children. A fun story in a fun and entertaining series.\r\n\r\nIn this volume we find out how the Sisters of the Last Straw were formed, and from whence they got their name. We meet a grouchy neighbour, a family in need, and a kindly priest. \r\n\r\nThe sisters in this story are fun, and the tale is often funny.\r\n\r\nSister Krumbles\r\nSister Shiny\r\nSister Lovely\r\nSister Lacey\r\nMother Mercy\r\n\r\nThe black and white illustrations by Sue Anderson Gioulis add to the story. The book teaches us about human nature, about living the gospel, and about trusting God. It also teaches us about the different strengths and weakness in different characters, and how to live in community. The nuns seem to end up in a lot of pickles. And from the chapter titles you always have a preview of what is about to happen next:\r\n\r\nIn a Big Jam \r\nGoats on the Run \r\nSheer Genius \r\nUp In Smoke \r\nStrange Visitors \r\nSecret Passages \r\nHidden Housemates \r\nContinuing Capers\r\n\r\nThey lessons they learn, and the work they do can serve as examples to us, especially living in larger families. There are great lessons for the young readers the series is written for, and also for us older folks who might read it with or to them. It is a fun story in an entertaining series. And we look forward to reading the rest of the series.","date":"Dec 26th 2023"},{"name":"Pat Mullin","rating":"4","title":"Sisters of the Last Straw - No. 3 - The Cased of the Vanishing Novicee","text":"A group of would-be sisters form a community and solve a mystery.
