One by one, the children tiptoe down the stairs . . .
It's midnight at the orphanage, and a group of children are sneaking to the kitchen to pray together.
Would anyone else come too?
they wonder. Night after night, more children join the fireside prayer meeting. But a bully named Fritz threatens to disrupt the group. When he sneaks down to scare the other children, will Fritz be the one who is surprised?

But most of all they will discover the difference children can make when they pray together. Based on a true story from a German orphanage in 1860,
