The 30 pieces of silver that Judas was paid for betraying Jesus were found in Israel. The Franciscan monks of Jerusalem sent the coins to the Vatican Museums for authentication and safekeeping – but then they disappeared! The Holy Father naturally must call upon his special agent, Sister Philomena, to find them. The search for the coins leads Sister Philomena, Riley, and Delaney on a harrowing ride through Rome with that crazy Sister Lisa Renee at the wheel. In the hunt for the coins, the reader gets to visit some of the great Basilicas of Rome and discover the many relics of the Passion of Jesus that are preserved in the basilicas.

You first met Grace, Peter, and Nathaniel in ADVENTURES IN AFRICA. They are a little '"older and wiser" now, having each had a birthday and a few months of African life tucked under their belts. In ACCLIMATING TO AFRICA (MAKING KENYA HOME), they would like to share some valuable lessons they have learned. Like home is where you make it and happiness is a choice. Different is not always the other guy and enough is far less than you might think. And of course, family is FOREVER. You'll find plenty of whimsy, too, in tales about doting grandparents, Carl the Chameleon, and our long-necked friends, George and Mable Giraffe.
