In this fourth Chime Travelers book, Patrick and Katie are planning their birthday party. They need new clothes, new electronics and a Katie wants to treat her friends to a day at the salon. Their parents are not happy and want to discuss their plans. Meanwhile for Vocational Day at the School, the boys are visiting the brothers and the girls are visiting the sisters. The girls are not impressed with the Sisters of Clare. They do not like all the praying, the silence or the hard work. When Katie is asked if she wants to ring the bell to call the sisters to prayers, she Chime Travels. She ends up in Italy and meets Clare. Clare takes her home to meet her family and tells Katie that her father wants her to get married to a rich man. She does not want to get married, in fact she wants to go and live with Brother Francis. When Clare and Katie sneak out of the house to meet up with Brother Francis, her father sends out men to find them and bring her back. Brother Francis sends her to hide and eventually, she ends up living with the sisters. When her sister joins her, her father is even more upset and sends soldiers to get them, but they are unable to carry out the request due to divine intervention. When Katie learns about the power of prayer and sacrifice from Clare, she returns home. She and Patrick talk about her "mission" they change their plans for their party. They teach their friends what they learned through their actions. This is a story that mixes some Christian teaching with some adventure. This would be a good book to have in a library of a Catholic or Chrisian School or in a library at a church. The illustrations are simple but add to the story.

This is the newest book in the Chime Travellers series. Once again the Brady family is helping out with church clean up. They are getting everything ready for Christmas when the choir begins playing some bells during practice. When they realize that for the first time they appear to be Chime Travelling together, they find themselves on the road to Bethlehem where they meet Mary, Joseph and their donkey. This is a story that is well known to all, Christians and non-Christians alike. Of course there is a twist here with the arrival of Patrick and Katie, but the important points are all there. At one point Katie points out to Patrick that they know what happens in the story, but he states that being there makes it feel more intense. That is so true, to have been able to actually gaze on the baby Jesus would have been an experience that would not compare to anything else in your life.
Each of the books in the series uses a biblical story to teach a lesson. This one is about welcoming people who are alone in a new place and trying to make them feel welcome and less alone and scared. This would be a good book to have in a library of a Catholic or Christian School or in a library at a church. The illustrations are simple but add to the story.

This is the third book in the Chime Travellers series. I liked this one better than the first two. In this story, the children take their animals to school for the blessing of the animals. Peter, a classmate of the twins, seems to be angry about something. On the weekend when Patrick, Katie and their family go to St. Anne's church to help with the clean up, they are shocked to see that the stained glass window commemorating St. Francis of Assisi was broken and a brick was found to have been thrown through it. When Patrick is cleaning up the glass, the bells begin to ring and suddenly, Patrick is in Italy where he meets up with Francis. As he spends time with him, he learns about his love for the poor and sick. When Francis has to hide from his angry father, he and Patrick go and live in a leper colony. When they leave the colony, they start to rebuild a chapel. Once Patrick learns Francis' message that to fix the chapel, you also have to fix the people as well, he ends up back home in the present. Patrick realized that he needs to help Peter deal with his anger and find out what the cause of his anger really is. Some great messages in this book. This would be a good book to have in a library of a Catholic or Christian School or in a library at a church. The illustrations are simple but add to the story.
