Dislike for books/school, a broken home, influence of his friend, Spike, and bad dreams, combine to make life difficult for Bennie. He overhears snatches of the Wordless Book story as he passed by an outdoor Bible Club..To his surprise, a policeman, who saw him steal some candy, is the husband of the Bible Club teacher. Rather than wanting to arrest Bennie, the policeman wants to help him trust Jesus as his Savior from sin. Captivating!
