Ten Saint stories are told in an engaging manner for children (recommended for mid-grade schoolers): St. Maria Goretti, St. Maximillian Kolbe, St. Catherine Laboure, St. Bernadette Soubirous, Blessed Miguel Pro, St. Martin De Porres, St. John Bosco, St. Francesca Cabrini, St. Philomena, and Blessed Herman of Reichenau. Each story is approximately 6 - 8 pages long and is illustrated with pen and ink drawings. The Reading Comprehension portion for each story includes vocabulary words, study questions and a number of projects relating to the saint such as - memorizing special quotes from the saint, researching a report relating to the saint, illustrating scenes from the story or studying some of the geography of where the saint lived and worked. The stories are beautiful and inspiring and cover both very familiar saints and some more obscure ones. My very favorite (whom I had never heard of before) was Blessed Herman of Reichenau - a severely crippled monk (with a brilliant mind) who lived in the Middle Ages and composed the Salve Regina (Hail Holy Queen).
A complete answer key is found in the back of the book.
