That Woman's Girl: an outsider

Exciting, adventurous, funny and deeply moving kids'-eye view of Jesus - aimed at preteens, openly enjoyed by adults!
Ten-year-old Kat's vast criminal empire was running fine, thank you, until a weird guy turned up in a river, dunking people and shouting about snakes.
When things got even more random, with the rumoured 'chosen one' following a bird into the wilderness, Kat should have known to get out - but for a skilled pickpocket like her, the crowds this strange pair attracted were just... too... tempting...

THAT WOMAN'S GIRL is book three of The Young Testament: the Samaria and Decapolis viewpoint of the Jesus story - standalone, but overlapping with JOSEPH'S BOY and JAIRUS'S GIRL to form one big storyworld.

# Content Warning # This book deals with difficult issues, such as marriage break-up, death and bereavement.
In particular, of all the Young Testament books, this is the one where the main character is present at Jesus's trial before Pilate and the Cross, possibly making it more suited to the older end of the series age band.
Not to say that a younger or more sensitive child couldn't enjoy the book, but an adult might want to read those chapters with them. Alternatively, consider reading JAIRUS'S GIRL first, as that main character only hears about the trial and Crucifixion, making it a more gentle introduction to the subject.
