The Pearl Thief was a twisty story again, and lovely to read about the younger Julie. I hope your son likes A Boy Called Bat. He may find it a little young for him, but the story is subtle and good.

I just checked A Boy Called Bat out from the library and was planning to read it myself but when my son found out it was about a boy with autism, he asked me to save it to read with him. (We're watching Parenthood, the tv show, right now and he is fascinated by the character who has Asperger's.) Not sure when we'll squeeze it in or even how interesting it will be to him. But I do love it when he shows interest in a book!Elisabeth Ellingtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00747914394861199796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-319624163132382197.post-67581269412877756532017-05-08T10:33:10.998-06:002017-05-08T10:33:10.998-06:00I've heard really good things about A Boy Call...I've heard really good things about A Boy Called Bat, I'm really looking forward to reading it, too!

They really aren't connected except the main character is the same, Michele. I loved Bat too as you can see. It's a great story for those younger readers.
