The exuberance of the vast cast (with credits at recording’s end!) is a contagious gift. Hand the Martín-illustrated print and the audio to all reluctant readers.
This amusing book reveals a contagious enthusiasm for creating original stories with strong characters, problems, and solutions, though navigating the busy page spreads may require guidance to avoid confusion.
Tori discovers adventure in the novel’s taut, suspenseful narrative, and self-determination in the final scene, which leaves readers’ spirits as full as the sails on the little boat that carries her toward the future. A first purchase for all middle grade libraries.
A thoughtful picture book for older elementary children that could be used in a history lesson covering Jewish families during World War II, and for readers with a love of history and war stories.
Hand this fast-paced, accessible tale to fans of Avi's other historical fiction titles or to readers who enjoy stories set during medieval times.—Anne Bosievich, Friendship Elementary School, Glen Rock, PA
Avi has written a compelling and tautly constructed book that is a portal to grappling with the complexity of the human instinct to compete. Highly recommended.
