Th...Hi Theresa,<BR/>I think your son would like Skellig. There is enough dialogue there to liven up the story and being that it is a British book, some terms are very new and different. They make you use your imagination.<BR/><BR/>CarmaCarma Dutrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13552905128829205617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2045904440771768871.post-10991752728157235542008-08-10T19:17:00.000-07:002008-08-10T19:17:00.000-07:00Thank you Dorothy for the kind words.

I'm glad you liked it so much. It's my all-time favourite book. I'm reading it with my eleven year old son, Ben at the moment. He's dyslexic so likes me to read to him. He reads Skellig's dialogue, which is fun. He's become a David Almond fan too and we hope to meet David at the Northeast Children's books Festival later this year. I've met him a few times already and plan to ask if he'll do an interview for my blog. When I get time, I'll review some of David's other books on my blog.<BR/>Thanks for the Brillante Award nomination. It was a lovely surprise. <BR/>I'll keep looking through your window, DorothyDorothy Masseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04937031081508645193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2045904440771768871.post-63351600966782709202008-08-06T21:30:00.000-07:002008-08-06T21:30:00.000-07:00Paulette, I really loved the book too.

I may try this book with him - perhaps if we read it together, he may get interested. His all time favorite book is Holes, so anything like that you can think of, please let me know.<BR/><BR/>Theresa<BR/>Stress-FreeParent.blogspot.comTheresa Schultzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13838016075981262051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2045904440771768871.post-30209112968960760042008-08-01T18:49:00.000-07:002008-08-01T18:49:00.000-07:00Judy thank you.

I knew nothing of this book because I don't have young ones in the house anymore. <BR/><BR/>I still appreciate what is out there for them.

Maybe I should have titled my post differently. <BR/><BR/>I do appreciate your opinion and you are right I need to be focused more clearly at times.

I don't think you do anything any better!!!! (I know I'm not supposed to do that, but it is part of my style) But, it confuses me that you switch day to day from childrens' to writers tips to grammar, etc. Doesn't hurt anything, but I look more because the site is so gorgeous than my expectation of what will be there. <BR/><BR/>Lisa H.<BR/>www.peaceandlaughter.blogspot.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
