Ivan and the Moscow Circus
Order code 118057
£4.99
Written when Russia was a communist country, meaning that belief in God and meeting to worship Him was strictly forbidden, this collection challenges the reality of the faith of young readers. Ivan and his ten-year-old sister long to live a normal life. Why do they always have to be different? Why should they always be on their guard with the Moscow Secret Police? The teasing and bullying at school is nothing compared with being taken in for questioning by the police.
