Hello young Wizards! I hope you've had a chance to read last month's Book of the Month: Redwall by Brian Jacques
This month I have another new book for you that is age appropriate to the majority of our readers. These books have been suggested by a fellow Librarian from Earth that I correspond with on occasion, her name is Kit Ward-Crixell and she is a librarian in New Braunfels, Texas, USA.
Our second Book of the Month is Chronicles of Prydain by Lloyd Alexander – High fantasy with more than a touch of humor; this series, loosely based on the Welsh Mabinogian, is a children’s classic. Princess Eilonwy is one of the first feisty and liberated princesses in children’s literature, and Taran the pig-keeper has enough adventures (usually by accident) to keep kids turning pages. The adult characters are wise and caring, and quick to offer lessons in patience, kindness, and honesty without being preachy. The Book of Three is the first in the series.
Look for this book in your school or local library and enjoy reading, young Wizards!
