Book Reviews of The Apprentice
Book Review: Well Done Fiction for Grades 4-7
Summary: 5 Stars
This is quite well done for the age range noted. It does start a little slowly, so have your reader persist, it really starts to grab the reader around pp 25-30. The mystery in the tower room is a great gothic touch. The young reader will be gratified that justice is done in the end and hard work is rewarded.
The historical back-drop is well done and this is one of the only historical fiction works out there for children. I would love to find something for high-schoolers, or at least grades 6-10. The fantasy works and female romances that are available are not the genres I need.
Summary of The Apprentice
In Renaissance Florence, thirteen-year-old apprentice Arduino's dreams of being a painter are challenged after he discovers the extreme measures the Maestro Cosimo di Forlē will take in the name of jealousy. Arduino faces a decision that could cost him his only chance to realize his life's dream.
