Alek (The Children of Crow Cove Series) door Bodil Bredsdorff

Now I remember, when I read Children of Crow Cove (or whatever it was called), I thought it was nice, but a bit strange, and very quiet, and I wasn't sure who would ever read it. Also, very Not American. I don't mean that in a bad way, in fact, that's why I read the Batchelders. But I don't know who to give this to. The child abuse makes it a tough sell for younger children, it's light on plot, and has a real folktale feeling to it.

A Batchelder winner in translation from the Danish, The Crow Girl reads like a fairy tale or parable. The story & setting are spare like the rocky coastal settlement where much of the story takes place. The characters, beginning with Crow-Girl & her grandmother are depict human experience (removed from texting & screens) & reality both bitter & sweet.
Crow Girl's grandmother eke out a simple existence &, as Grandmother approaches her death (the vehicle for subsequent action in the story), she warns her grandchild to attend to 3 important truths.
Crow Girl's subsequent dislocation, wanderings, & engagements with new people, places & circumstances demonstrate her grandmother's wisdom & Crow-Girl's resilience.
While the story depicts violence, Crow Girl is still appropriate for Intermediates & possibly sturdy Juniors. In its unblinking examination of a wide range of human emotion, it reads like Farmer Boy or Charlotte's Web.
I will be curious to hear the responses of my students.… (meer)
