Madcap Middle Grade Adventure a Fun, Zany Read
11:17 AM
(Image from Barnes & Noble)
As the ruler of the Kingdom of Camellia, the 22-year-old emperor has been so spoiled that he's become an insufferable egomaniac. Watching from the Great Beyond, his meddling ancestors decide it's high time their ungrateful descendant learns a lesson in humility. Using their otherworldly powers, they plop him in the countryside alone except for an 8-foot tall ostrich.


(Readalikes: This tale is supposed to be Berry's nod to Lloyd Alexander, an author whom I've never read. Presumably, it's similar to his novels?)
Grade:
If this were a movie, it would be rated:
To the FTC, with love: I received a finished copy of The Emperor's Ostrich from the generous folks at Macmillan. Thank you!
