The Prophet's Mantle by Edith Nesbit

The story revolves around a young boy named Dickie who discovers a magical cloak that once belonged to a prophet. The cloak gives him the power to heal and bring good fortune to those he cares about. However, it also attracts unwanted attention from evil forces seeking to exploit its power for their own gain. As Dickie navigates this newfound responsibility, he learns valuable lessons about courage, loyalty, and the importance of using one's gifts wisely.
