A Norendy Tale (a series of original fairy tales)
Five puppets are crammed into a box. They have a story to share. When an uncle purchases them from the rag-and-bone man and gifts them to his nieces, their story is created and dispensed to a receptive audience. One audience member is healed from a long ago sorrow as she listens to and views the pupperty.
Although it is a short read (I read it under an hour), it will provoke enduring reflections. Ms. DiCamillo also develops characters well with few words. No word is a filler.
-Borrowed from the library.
More books in this series are forthcoming.
