Indian Paintbrush Nominees 2008-2009

Welcome to the Indian Paintbrush 2008-2009 Blog for Slade Elementary School. This blog is for teachers, librarians, students and parents to review the books nominated for the Wyoming Indian Paintbrush award. It's my first attempt at blogging: you'll see changes as I learn more. For example, since I'm using blogger.com, it looks like anyone can view the comments, but only those who have an account with google are able to make a contributing comment. I'll keep investigating.

Send me your comments at bossjanet@gmail.com and I'll add them to the blog. Be sure to sign your work, so I can give you credit! Scroll down the right column to contributors and you'll find my profile under Books2Read.

This blog is for current Indian Paintbrush nominees. I'll set up additional spots for other children's book reviews. If the the book is checked out from the Slade Library, you can check the Albany County Public Library catalog to see if the books are available.

Legend of the Wandering King by Laura Gallego Garcia

Gallego García, Laura - Legend of the Wandering King

I haven't read this one yet. The reviews in journals give it a mystical, ancient Arabia feel. It's translated from Spanish, Gallego García is from Valencia, Spain. The first thing I thought when I read the synopsis was "wow, that reminds me of one of my favorite books, The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho." When I went to the author's web site, there it is listed as one of her favorite books! I can hardly wait to read it and see if there are more similarities.
