SONG OF THE GARGOYLE

Thirteen-year-old Tymmon longs for knighthood and valiant battle. Forced to flee the castle when his father is kidnapped, Tymmon wanders through towns and villages discovering disturbing truths about the gallant nobility and learning how to live in the world by his own talents. Richard Ferrone's stirring reading keeps the listener at the edge of his seat. He ably conveys the vocal and cultural differences between Tymmon and the villagers without over-performing the dialogue. The listener is allowed to concentrate on the excitement of the story. This is a thrilling, well-read adventure for young people in grades 5-9, particularly those non-reading boys. S.G. Winner of AUDIOFILE Earphones Award ©AudioFile, Portland, Maine [Published: APR 93]
