Jesus, the Devil and a Kid Called Death

by Carolyn Scott-Jeffs

Well-meaning drama teacher Mrs Woodhouse takes a gamble when she casts the school bad boy as Jesus in The Harrowing of Hell for the town's Mystery Cycle. What's more, the Devil is being played by the extremely well-behaved Chrissy. Meanwhile Chrissy's kid brother is not very happy about being left out and invents a character all of his own. Romantic comedy by Carolyn Scott-Jeffs about one teacher's belief in the redemptive power of drama.
