Step back into a 16th-century English village, beside the willows, where the very first school was invented by a need to teach their young ones to read so they can keep their land from being stolen and to read the Bible for themselves. Visit a place where the schoolchildren travel by buggy, write their lessons on slate boards, and discover that even ordinary days can hold extraordinary lessons. Learn how people really lived back then. and what everyday life was like in the 1500s.

Meet the clever, witty little girl named Patricia, who is curious, brave, and full of questions. Along with her friends, Bet, Hugh, and the twins, better known as "Us," she learns more than just numbers and letters in the little church turned schoolhouse. From a buggy that sneezes to the Truth Patrol, every moment becomes a lesson about kindness, truth, and courage.

But when old Mr. Pike nearly loses his meadow to a dishonest trader, Patricia's new reading skills uncover the truth hidden in a single line of ink. What happens next shows the children, and the whole village, that the truth really does set you free.
Learn the scripture verse. "And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." John 8:32, along with Patricia and her friends, and learn how important the truth is.
