Tor, a Street Boy of Jerusalem Florence Morse Kingsley

"Hosanna to the Son of David! Blessed is the King that comes in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest!" Shouts of hope are the last thing the street boy Tor expects to hear as he trudges through mundane Jerusalem begging for food. After a confrontation with Pontius Pilate he receives a horrible wound. His life seems empty and lonely when shouts of the Savior are heard. Will this Jesus be able to right the wrongs of Tor's past? When Tor discovers that Judas is part of a conspiracy to kill Jesus he tries desperately to save him. Will Tor be able to rescue Jesus? This would be a wonderful story to read aloud during Easter. Recommended for ages 8 to adult.
