| Publisher Description: Whitney has been coping with the typical problems of being the new kid at school, trying to find her own place in the cliques. What's worse is that the leader of the most popular clique is jealous of her and decides to invite every single girl in the class to a sleepover except Whitney--just to teach her a lesson. Devastated by the humiliation, Whitney doesn't understand why anyone would want to hurt her so deeply without cause. Sobbing, she escapes into the Emerald Bible and finds herself transported to an ancient Israel being terrorized by Goliath. When young David goes unarmed to face the giant, it's Whitney who gives him a weapon--and a quick lesson in aiming a slingshot David's bravery in turn gives Whitney the courage and the faith to believe in and stand up for herself, and go back and confront her own bully. |
