Ten-year-old Judith McPherson sees the world with the clear eyes of faith. Other students persecute her for her differences. To escape, Judith builds a Land of Decoration, a model in miniature of the Promised Land. When her father's factory job is threated by a strike and the taunting of school slips into dangerous territory, they threaten the very foundations of Judith's world.

Psychological submitted by mrajraspn08 on June 24, 2014, 4:38pm This is a beautiful book about a girl whose imaginary world becomes a little too real. It will have you on the edge of your seat, wondering what's going on, what is real and what's imaginary. The end falls a little flat, a disappointment after such a ride, but still worth a read.
