Book Reviews of Shadow Spinner (A Jean Karl Book)
Book Review: A brilliant and exotic adventure.
Summary: 5 Stars
I have read many books with my daughter (now aged 9) and this is one of the few I know she wouldn't throw out of the balloon! It is a fantastic adventure in the traditional sense made even more excting by the brilliantly researched setting - The sultan's harem in the time of Sheherazad and the 1001 nights. How did she find all those stories that saved her and many others from death. What else was going on at the time. Susan Fletcher has woven an intricate but accessable tale which is unpatronising to the young reader. It explores the art of story telling with footnotes that are perceptive and inciteful. A fantastic read.
