Other Bells for Us to Ring (1990) is the U.S. author Robert Cormier's first novel for young readers (10–12 years).

Eleven-year-old Darcy Webster never had a best friend until her father joined the army, bringing his family to Frenchtown in Monument, near Fort Delta, Massachusetts.

That is until Kathleen Mary sprinkled her with holy water declaring, "Now you're a Catholic, Darcy Webster.

Darcy struggled with her religion, questioning whether a little bit of holy water and a declaration by an eleven-year-old could make her Catholic, and what to do, how to pray, and whether God truly exists.

Things became more complicated when a letter came home to Darcy and her mother stating that Mr. Webster was missing in action.
