The Easter Angels PDF Download

Celia is a ten-year-old Roman girl and lives in Jerusalem with her brother Brutus. He has lots of mean friends. They love teasing girls, including Celia and her friend Hannah. She is Jewish and helps Celia understand about someone called the Messiah. To Celia, it seems like the entire city is waiting for him.
