Spotlight on Saints!<\/em><\/a> (Pauline Books & Media) contains twelve humorous reader’s theater scripts for students in grades 4-8. In each script, a saint helps a modern student with a real-life problem. In one play, St. Gianna Molla helps a young girl learn to prioritize the activities of her busy life.
