Finish reading The Lost Prince.
So far in the story Marco, a poor European refugee, Samavian boy is educated by his poor father by exploring and talking to others. He learns by trying to remember the details of all he sees. While in London this last time he meets a crippled boy named The Rat. They play a drill sergeant game and Loristan, Marco’s father sends them on a dangerous mission to places all over the continent to be a forerunner of a great event that the two boys don’t realize is coming. They must stick together and use their wits. Continue to look for ways Marco is like each of us on our journey on earth. And how do the relationship in the story reflect our relationship to Heavenly Father.
