Aimed at children ages 5–11. However, reading ability is very subjective; what will be right for one child will not necessarily be right for another of the same age. As children grow older, they can re-read the story, discover new meanings, and enjoy it as much as the first time they read it.

• Our Very Greek Summer: and a Very Greek Baptism
