Tuesday, January 21, 2003 ( 12:31 PM ) Jeanne A Single Shard by Linda Sue Park I just finished reading this with Micaela and we both liked it. The novel is set in 12th century Korea and is about an orphan boy, Tree Ear, whose greatest dream is to be a potter. He lives underneath a bridge with his friend Crane Man and forages for food among the rubbish heaps of the village. By chance he gets the opportunity to work for the most talented potter in the village and his life changes in many unexpected and adventurous ways. It is also a beautiful tale of the friendship of Tree Ear and Crane Man who form an unconventional family, depending on one another for survival and love. The author does a wonderful job of explaining pottery processes an excellent book for us right now as Micaela and Juan start their pottery class tonight! # |
