Eleven-year-old Clare wants to be a saint for Jesus, but there are a few things standing in her way: everything she says, does, and thinks. Well...not exactly, but almost. Clare finds surrendering her will to Jesus unbelievably hard, until a visiting priest shares an amazing secret during her church's parish mission.
In this second book by Julie Kelly, Clare discovers the tender love of Mary, the transforming power of meditating on the life of Jesus through the Rosary, and the joy of contemplating with Mary the face of Christ. In her delightfully candid way, Clare invites readers to walk the narrow road with her to Jesus through Mary.

love it
My kids love it and we love it too. It’s so inspiring book
I had borrowed this book from a friend years ago and wanted to purchase my own copy to use in our homeschool. My son is a new server at a TLM Mass and it is helping him with his movements as well.
I really like the Prayer Cards on Carlo Acutis. I wish I could afford to get them for each of the 250 children in our CCD program. I'm glad to have them for our 2nd graders.
They are beautiful
I love them! I'll be giving them to my 8th grade CCD students.
Great love it
It is compact, complete, and easy to keep by your bed or in a purse or pocket.
Good price , nice size and awesome information in the back.
The narration was so engaging that my kids were captivated from start to finish. It made the story memorable without feeling overwhelming. I especially loved how it highlighted the Knights of the Immaculata—my children really understood the beautiful distinction between knights who serve a country and knights who serve our Lord. A wonderful balance of being thorough yet approachable. Highly recommend!
I teach 2nd grade catechism can’t wait to give my students his holy card and share his story with them.
Thumbs up!
Beautiful and succinct commentary on the rosary. The best I’ve ever read. Worth every penny and more.
Great quality and greater reminders of the simple steps to holiness.
Despite being older than the target audience age-wise (although probably the appropriate spiritual maturity level ;)) for this book, I enjoyed it. It was well-written, maintained a relatable voice, and presented good morals. I appreciated the character development, especially because it showed Clare struggling several times despite her desire to love Jesus better. I think this made the book more realistic and accessible. I also really respected that Clare learns things from a variety of sources. She mentions priests giving talks, her mother sharing quotes, and more. This is a nice complement to what Clare discovers through prayer, reminding us God can speak to us through others. I definitely learned some new things from reading it.
I read a chapter out loud to my first-grade faith formation class, and I think the beautiful imagery of the chapter I selected really helped them grown in understanding of the rosary, and it was a nice lead-in to our Mary garden activity.
Our kids (ages 4-9) were excited to read this book together every day ("Can we read the Clare book, Mom?"). They loved the fiery character of Clare, who struggles with the same things I think most kids struggle with- sibling rivalry, selfishness, boredom/distraction when praying the rosary... But she recognizes more and more the times she is able to overcome those temptations and do what is pleasing to God- and has some valuable revelations along the way. This book offers a refreshing reminder for children and adults alike that we don't need to rely on our own strengths (which will always let us down!) to grow closer to Jesus and Mary and keep advancing on the path to sainthood.
We love this book. It's so relatable to issues girls face and real life struggles.
Great way to teach the faith to young children. They can easily see the real life situations of their acts of good or evil, Great way to teach the rosary!
I loved reading this myself and can’t wait to share it with my daughter. This would make a wonderful gift for Catholic girls around age 9-11.
