Pam O’Brady is a widow who has had all her belongings stolen. This means she has to face the hardest, most mean judge on the planet... she visits Judge Orson Cart to try and get justice. He turns her down, so she returns in disguise. After turning Mrs O’Brady away many times, the judge gives in and gives her justice.

Continuing the Crazy Stories series, Mrs O’Brady Never Gives Up retells the parable of the widow and the unjust judge (Luke 18:1–8) in rhyme, with Alexander Brown’s fun, crazy illustrations. It also includes activities for parents/carers and children.

As in the other Crazy Stories, Mrs O’Brady Never Gives Up lets children explore the biblical truth of a story of Jesus through a new tale, told in rhyme. At the back of the book, the appropriate Bible text appears, along with some activities that parents and carers can do with their children, to explore the theme further.
