![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I enjoyed reading it, and I know my kids enjoyed hearing it. I’ve got to admit, the twists and turns this little tale takes are unexpected, and Mary Pope Osborne does well to get her young characters into the thick of things quickly and without following any predictable plot-lines. This past year, we’ve been able to read a few books set in the Middle Ages-books like The Sword in the Tree and King Arthur-so the kids had a rough foundation built for what to expect from The Night at Dawn. I hope their aversion to such books soon changes to attraction, but I’m patient enough to wait. They can both read, but I think they still feel intimidated by the sheer number of words in these chapter books. Ever since we started reading The Magic Tree House series (sadly out of order), my kids have been sleeping with the books, trying to anticipate what adventures await them. ![]()
