The Real Boy was an interesting read...I remember freaking out when something happens later in the book.

But I keep picking it up (I found it very on sale at a bookstore so it is mine) thinking about how I might want to share it with a class. So happy that you also enjoyed The Man with the Violin. Sigh. I LOVE this book. Moonday is a title I can't wait to read!

For me, two sessions to read through and then one more for discussion on style, layers, stories, hints, and more. I was always amazed what children could draw from the story.

Your picture books are very intriguing. I think I will request The Island from the library. The Real Boy is so complex and a bit dark, I really liked it.

Very supportive of writers. I'm always interested in what people think of The Real Boy, especially now that there's so much high expectations around it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
