Representaion In Favor Of Books The Minstrel in the Tower

In this gripping medieval page-turner, Roger and his sister Alice are
kidnapped and held for ransom in an ancient tower. To escape and find their
uncle, the children must summon all their courage and imagination. "Designed as
easy-reading material for middle-graders, this has the virtues of an attractive
format and illustrations, a fast plot, and even a feminist fillip: Alice is the
more intrepid of the siblings, Roger's gifts are for music and
ventriloquism."-- "Bulletin, Center for Children's Books.

Appraise Regarding Books The Minstrel in the Tower

A quick fun read set in medieval France but not hugely memorable.

This book is part of our Sonlight Curriculum in Core C. We're studing the middle ages and this quick read is a captivating story set in this time period. The mother is ill and in desperate need of medicine. She sends her children to fetch a nobleman to come to her aid. Along the way the children are captured and held prisoner. The children scheme to get away and get help. Will their scheme succeed?While an easy read, the story will hold your attention as the characters are made very real in

The story was rather lackluster. Perhaps suspenseful for a child but plot rather poorly rounded for a more mature child or adult. Dont feel like it was overly educational either. And the storyline ended with modern feminism the girl is told she can continue to climb trees and act as she wishes despite being a noblewoman by birth.

This was a great little book, doesn't take long to read but a good story. Great for a child who likes adventures but doesn't like books that last too long.

This book was simple and quick to read. It wasn't the worst way to introduce the middle ages to children through story. It wasn't the most exciting and well written book we've read so far, but my kids enjoyed it and were able to follow the story. I personally would have liked to see more character development and smoother transitions from scene to scene.

This book is part of a group of books (Stepping Stones) that are written for children who are either new to reading or have difficulty reading. Many of the books are abridged copies of classics. This particular book is historical and contains a fairly good story of a brother and sister living in England during the Crusades in medieval times.

I liked this book. In the book the kids' mom was ill. They set off on a journey to find uncle Lord Raimond, the baron. One of the kids gets locked in a tower. Time is running out. Will they save their mom? Is he a dream? hmm (: Read it and find out!
