An absolutely enthralling read...
Teaching Pre K-8, Nov/Dec 2001 by Broderick, Patricia, Raymond, Allen
is The Dragon's Son by Sarah Thomsen. This is a first book that will enchant upper intermediate and middle school kids.
It's the story of Arthur, but told in an intensely personal way. Thomsen's Arthur seems afflicted with many 21 st century traits, and it makes the legend that much more accessible and believable. There's a lovely rhythm to the prose which will make this a great read-aloud (once you practice the early Celtic names).
A super first book Orchard Books is the publisher. $17.95 at your local bookstore. LUCKY SUBSCRIBER Robert Keiser Wallingford, CT
