Book Reviews of Good Masters! Sweet Ladies! Voices from a Medieval Village
Book Review: A Medieval Masterpiece
Summary: 5 Stars
This Newbery Award winning book may not be a first choice for kids who are brousing for a good read, but they would be missing out on a really good book. The voices in this medieval masterpiece are so authentic, you can practically hear their mothers' calling them. The villain's daughter, the knight's son, the glassblower's two youngsters and all the rest bring the reader into the 13th century as if the characters were speaking to you. And in a sense, they are, for this book is a series of monologues spoken by 26 young people from a medieval village. This can be a play, a reader's theatre presentation, a read-aloud, or a silent reading selection. Children as young as third grade can grasp the meaning of the lives these young people led (although vocabulary and concepts are challenging for the young readers). A fine selection for grades four through eight and higher. This book is truly worthy of its award.
