| 161.The Shakespeare Stealer by: Gary Blackwood July 01, 2000 |

| To me, the true mark of good juvenile or young-adult fiction is if it can appeal to adult readers as well, and Gary Blackwood's The Shakespeare Stealer most definitely succeeds on that account. The basic plot is familiar enough: poor orphan boy is thrown into circumstances where he has a chance at truly having something of his own for the first time, but not without risks and having to make difficult decisions. But Blackwood does a superb job of giving his characters real depth, which makes the reader ... Read More: |

| For a Civil War unit, this picture book has mature pictures, which are beautiful. A black teen Union soldier saves a white soldier, they hide, then are found and taken away. The Confederates hanged Pinkus (the Black teen) and imprisoned the White teen. The White teen survived, and the book is a true story passed down through oral history of his family. A teacher may want to use this powerful and moving story for any age students. |

A young Chinese boy named Moon Shadow moves to San Francisco to meet his father for the first time. His father dreams of flying and building a glider, and Moon Shadow must find the courage to stand up and not be afraid of the demons, who greatly influence him and the book.

| My daughter and I have LOVED sharing Betsy-Tacy as a read-aloud. The way that the author weaves the girls' fantasies right into the chapter is a perfect illustration of just how real imaginary play is to children (or at least used to be when kids were allowed to imagine). Beware, parents: Have a hankie on hand for the Easter Eggs chapter. I had tears running in rivulets down my cheeks. The only sad thing about Betsy-Tacy is that my daughter wishes that she had a kindred spirit of her own as they do. Highly recommended! |
