Book
#1 in the series, 'Adventures With Sister Philomena, Special Agent
for the Pope. Riley and Delaney are supposed to stay with their aunt,
Sister Philomena, in her convent near Rome for the summer. Riley
expects this to be a horrible summer living in a convent with a bunch
of nuns with nothing to do but pray and go to church. Not
surprisingly that attitude starts to change when the secret nature of
their aunt's work begins to unfold. On their first morning in Italy,
Sister Philomena rushes Riley and Delaney to the Vatican to help the
Pope with an intruder in the Apostolic Palace. The real Pope? How can
his aunt know the real Pope? She must be nuts, thinks Riley. As it
turns out, not only does she know the Pope, but Sister Philomena is
his special agent and private investigator. In 'Lost In Peter's Tomb'
the children learn about St. Peter and his role as Apostle, explore
the Vatican Gardens, follow a mischievous white cat, make friends
with a Swiss Guard, sidcover the grandeur of T. Peter's Basilica, and
fall upon the mystery of Peter's tomb and relics. Unexpectedly they
help the Pope and their aunt solve the mystery of the intruder and
the theft of St. Peter's bones. In the end, Riley's fear of a
horrible summer begins to fade away. It helps that his new friend,
Capitano Leo, a Swiss Guard, hints that there will be other
adventures coming their way because of the work of their aunt, Sister
Philomena.
