There are 26 letters in the alphabet. But have you ever wondered why? C.C. Strachan, author of The World of Letters: A Tale of Jealousy, tells a tale that ponders that question. One Sunday, the alphabet letters who dwell in AbbaLand go to Gospel Land. The letter A explained that there is no I in TEAM. The letter T promptly replied that there is no A in TOGETHER. Despite their different roles in the alphabet, the letters were perfectly made with computers in their bellies and retractable arms by ABBA, their creator that no one had ever seen. Unbelievers doubted ABBA's existence. Soon their differences led to arguments and a terrible tragedy strikes. The letters can't form the words they used to spell. Who can save them?

I loved The World of Letters. C.C. Strachan's extraordinary imagination let me escape into another world while pondering a real-life problem. Her deep Christian faith was evident. This work of fiction not only kindled my spirit but honed my grammar usage. The inclusion of computer terms was cool and the dialogue infused with slang made the story believable and interesting. With only 58 pages, it emphasized the importance of teamwork and reiterated the beauty of individuality. The illustrations by Milena Vitorovic had personality and swagger that notably contributed to the story. This children's story is worthy of critical acclaim. The World of Letters is highly recommended.
