I was very surprised at the author's ability to deal with some heavy historical realities gracefully and without throwing blame at just one group of people. He deftly placed Sir Walter in a historical context that did not excuse him or his peers from their incredibly violent treatment of other people, but it did allow him to be a sympathetic character with a cultural context that allowed for the decisions made to massacre the Irish or try to steal gold from the Native people of South America. Very well constructed and written. ( ) This engaging ALA notable book and Sibert Medal winner in 2001 is well researched and written in an engaging storytelling format that will appeal to middle grade readers. While it is leveled at 7.8, the timelines, illustrations, organization, index, will all make this accessible to slightly younger readers for research. The author thoroughly explores the adventurous life of Walter Raleigh, both his successes and his failures to find the mythical El Dorado. Students who enjoy interesting historical characters will enjoy this book. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
