  11. a light in the darkness is a veary good book but it doesnt make any sense because if who ever threw the rock in the window twice why wouldnt they throw it again. just because they all have the manorra in thair window. RYLEE THORNTON

    Willy,and Marti wanted to help Josh. But didn't know what to do.So they went and asked neighbours to join in and they said "yes".Then Willy and Marti waited for it to get dark and you could see all the menorahs lit up.
