'Highly wrought, subtle and compelling... a classic demonstration of the art of good storytelling.'

- Ian Hislop, The Sunday Telegraph

'Vivid and fresh'

Children’s Bookseller Supplement

'An outstandingly successful demonstration of McCaughrean's skill at retelling traditional stories for contemporary audiences'

Books for Keeps

Jesse trees (and later, stained glass windows), used in medieval times tell people Bible stories. Using her skills as a storyteller and her love of the Bible, the author has written an intriguing story about the creation of a modern-day Jesse tree. She weaves evocative retellings of selected Bible stories with a sensitive contemporary story about the transforming power of love.
