Description
Fourth grader Evelyn Ripley has a tough choice to make: Tell the principal about the plot against the substitute teacher or stay quiet. If she speaks up, she may face ridicule from the boys planning the prank, but if she doesn't say anything, an innocent substitute teacher could get hurt. When quirky Bible teacher Mrs. Goodfellow hands her a Bible and tells her to "talk to Esther" about her problem, Evelyn doesn't see how reading a story about ancient Persia can help her.
