Book Reviews of Age of Bronze Volume 1: A Thousand Ships
Book Review: 6th grade Social Studies in a Graphic Novel too cool!
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought the first three in this series for my 6th grader who is dyslexic. She finds graphic novels a great format. She received these in her care package at camp and they were a big hit in the unit. Mostly girls receive gossip magazines and these novels were much more popular and a much better content. These tie into the 6th grade history social studies standard with Ancient Greece. By the end of 6th grade most kids have been introduced to Greek mythology and are ready for this series, which is adult in nature but this age group is now seeking more adult content in their reading and viewing material. I would much rather this then Teen Vogue or Seventeen magazine. All I can say is a group of 11 girls who just finished 6th grade loved these. Now I just need to find something to send next year to camp.
Summary of Age of Bronze Volume 1: A Thousand Ships
Daring heroes, breathtaking women, betrayals, love and death--the most spectacular war story ever told: The Trojan War. When a lustful Trojan prince abducts the beautiful Queen Helen of Sparta, Helen`s husband vows to recover her no matter the cost. So begins the Trojan War. From far and wide the ancient kings of Greece bring their ships to join the massive force to pledge their allegiance to High King Agamemnon. Featuring the greatest of the Greek heroes: Achilles, Odysseus, and Herakles, along with a cast of thousands. AGE OF BRONZE: A THOUSAND SHIPS reveals hidden secrets of the characters` pasts, serving up joy and sorrow, leading up to the brink of war, and foreshadowing the terror to come. Age of Bronze will be included in a major international exhibition travelling to three German museums in 2002. The exhibit is centered on the current excavations at Troy and features Age of Bronze in an exhibit devoted to modern interpretations of Troy. Age of Bronze has been nominated for numerous Eisner (The comic industry's Oscar) Awards.
