The Secret of the Starkworthing Rubies

Sister Seraphina and the sleuthing mice at Saint Wulfhilda’s Abbey School are back for a brisk fall treasure hunt—and a lesson in discerning God’s will in one’s life. 

When Lady Starkworthing leaves a bequest to the Sisters of Our Lady Star of the Sea, Sister Seraphina hopes to use it to expand Saint Wulfhilda’s School. But what is the mysterious gift? And where is it? Sister Seraphina and her students have another investigation to conduct. And Sister Seraphina must also respond to Mother Alphonsa’s proposal that she become the new headmistress of Saint Wulfhida’s. 

This fourth installment of The Sister Seraphina Mysteries delivers touching lessons on praying for the dead and discerning God’s will through prayer and the advice of others within a delightful tale of friendship and God’s providential care. Includes a brief biography of G. K. Chesterton and explanations of the feasts of Michaelmas, All Saints Day, and All Souls Day. 

The Sister Seraphina Mysteries by award-winning author Haley Stewart and illustrator Betsy Wallin is a read-aloud series for children in the tradition of the Catholic imagination of G. K. Chesterton and the whimsy of Beatrix Potter. Each hardcover, charmingly illustrated volume delivers mystery, adventure, a cast of lovable characters, and a Catholic worldview that celebrates faith and virtue.
