Suffer the Little Children

The Orphan's Wish Is a Christian retelling of Aladdin. Oh how enjoyable it is there Ms. Dickerson is so gifted on how she works this out for you. It is so fantastic this story breaks your heart in the very beginning, but as it goes on it gets happier and you are hooked from word one in pulling for Aladdin. Will he find true happiness again as an orphan? The author was able to make this world come to life in your mind. You really visualize and conceptualize the entire world of Aladdin. I received a copy of this book from the Publisher and Netgalley; all of the opinions expressed in this review are all my own. if you would like to read more of my Christian book reviews go to christianlybookreviewers.blogspot.com
