註釋In Whitney's next adventure, she's envious of the teacher's pet and so pulls a mean prank in order to become part of a clique at her new school. Whitney's subsequent feelings of guilt make her turn to the Emerald Bible, where she is whisked back to the time of Joseph and his brothers. Participating fully in the Biblical events, Whitney herself creates Joseph's many-colored coat, is with Jacob when he hears that his favorite son has been killed, then later travels to Egypt with the remaining brothers and uncovers Joseph's secret identity. Through it all she learns firsthand that nothing good ever comes from jealousy and that each person has his or her own special talents and gifts to offer. She brings these lessons back to her own time to help her confess to the prank and to resolve her own feelings of jealousy. Illustrated throughout with lively black-and-white drawings, these two exciting, fun-filled books and the Emerald Collection titles to follow: --present the best-loved Bible stories with immediacy and impact --show the relevancy of Biblical lessons to today's situations --encourage family values, tradition, and intergenerational dialogue --tap the large and profitable middle-grade market --can be enjoyed by kids 8 to 12 of all Christian denominations --will have snowballing sales as later readers eagerly seek out the earlier Whitney adventures, as well as clamor for what happens next Recommend this brand-new series to-- o parents and grandparents o parochial school teachers o home schools o CCD teachers o directors of religious ed o parishes o gift buyers o girls aged 8 to 12 +
