A summer in Rome shaped by the Rosary

Bell arrives in Rome expecting an unhappy summer with her grandmother, but Nonna’s way of teaching the Rosary gives the visit a new direction. Through the Joyful Mysteries and an introduction to Mary, the book connects a child’s summer experience with Catholic prayer and devotion. The chapter-book format places that religious subject matter within a family relationship and a change in Bell’s outlook. Its focus is specifically on the Rosary’s Joyful Mysteries, presented as part of Bell’s growing connection to Jesus, Mary, and her faith.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children ages 9–12 interested in Christian or Catholic fiction

Book overview

When ten-year-old Bell is sent to her grandmother in Rome for the summer, she expects to have a miserable time. But everything changes when "Nonna" teaches Bell to pray the Rosary by taking her into the mysteries themselves and introducing her to Mary. By the end of the summer, Bell is transformed. This beautiful chapter book will inspire young readers to love Jesus, Our Lady, and the Rosary by bringing the joyful mysteries to life!
