The Adventures of Bella is a chapter book based on personal experiences Sister Valerie and Sister Roslyn had as teachers of elementary students in a Catholic school.

Bella is a self-righteous, self-absorbed, out-spoken, and spoiled (though lovable) wild child, and learns how to be a good student and friend through her relationships with Jesus, teacher, parents, and students.

Children who are confronted with complex characters, events, and situations may identify with the events that took place in Bella's life.
