Whitney Rides the Whale with Jonah: and learns she can't run away (The Emerald Bible Collection) - Tapa blanda

Sinopsis

Sure to pull readers in from the very first page, this book introduces Whitney Bickham as she's trying to handle―all at once―her beloved grandmother's death, the family move from Michigan to Chicago, and a brand new school. Whitney's solution? She'll run away. Before she does, she opens the Emerald Bible for the first time since her grandmother died, hoping to recapture some of the wisdom Nana always found there for her. With the turn of a page, Whitney is thrust into the real-life adventure of Jonah, who's trying to run away from his duties as a preacher. Whitney and her dog Bailey accompany Jonah on his journey―from the storm-tossed ship, to the belly of the whale, to the sinful city of Nineveh.
