A Pennyworth of Peppermints (Updated)

We have updated this lovely story, to include dyslexia friendly text, larger book size, and images at the beginning of every chapter. Your children will love it!

This exciting spy mystery story for 8-11s is set in Dorset in WW1. Three children find a message in a bottle on the beach while looking for driftwood for the stove, and set out to foil an enemy plot! Can they find the spy?

Set against the backdrop of the Great War, this heart-warming tale weaves mystery, adventure, and faith.

There are many things happening in the world right now that can cause our children to be afraid. War is one of them. Reading A Pennyworth of Peppermints together will give you the opportunity to talk about these fears, and discover that, just as God was with Ben and helped him in all his troubles, God can be with them and help them, too.
