Product Description
We be counterfeiters and smugglers and traitors to the Crown, Cissy thought sadly….And I be a great sinner, almost as bad as Wicket Nidd, my own father.
Whom should Cissy Nidd believe? Her father, maker of counterfeit coins? Or John Bunyan, the prisoner in her father's jail who dares to speak of worshiping God in spirit and in truth? As Cissy endures the horrors of plague and the Great Fire of London, she learns the difference between deceit and righteousness, between the false and the true. But the moment comes when she is faced with a heart-wrenching choice, and like Bunyan himself, she must prove the faithfulness of God.

About the Author
When Lois Dick read about the grim realities of John Bunyan's imprisonment and his courageous refusal to stop preaching, she knew she wanted to write a book about him. "Then I saw it all through the eyes of Cissy," Mrs. Dick writes, "and I remembered myself at that age--the doubts I had."
Mrs. Dick's writing career spans thirty years, with biography and history as her special interests. She is the author of three biographies for adults, and her stories, flashcard lessons, and magazine articles have been enjoyed by children all over the world.

Flashlight Reading
I liked this book because it kept me on the very edge of my seat(so to speak). I stayed up till 12:30 AM to finish it. It was so good I could hardly put it down. Luckily, I had my trusty LED flashlight. Cissy (CeCelia) Nidd is the main character in the book. Her father is a maker of counterfeit coins and she is supposed to help exchange false coin for true coin. But in the process, John Bunyan, a True coin, comes for a stay in the jail. Will he have an effect on Cissy? Will she die of the Black Death (Bubonic Plague), or in the Great Fire of London, but more important, will she die to her sin? It's a very good, clean book, recommended for anyone who's age 12 to 112.
